Huawei leads the broadband aggregation equipment market, says Infonetics

By Telecom Lead Team: Huawei is the leading broadband aggregation equipment market
in terms of revenue share for the fourth-quarter, whilst Alcatel-Lucent passed
ZTE for the first time in a year to grab the #2 spot, according to market
research firm Infonetics Research.

Revenue of the overall broadband aggregation equipment
market  that includes DSL, PON and FTTH  increased by
15 percent sequentially to $2.3 billion in the fourth-quarter of 2011, mainly
driven by heavy spending in Asia and Latin America.

The market also had its biggest year on record, which is up
by 24 percent to $8.4 billion in 2011 over 2010, as Infonetics forecast in
previous reports.

Global PON equipment revenue shot up 27 percent in
the fourth quarter from the previous quarter, led by healthy increases in EPON
and GPON shipments in China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Singapore.

 China alone set a record with the first billion-dollar
PON quarter in the country. Meanwhile, spending on both PON and DSL equipment
in Latin America exploded in the fourth quarter, helping the region finish off
the 2011 year with phenomenal yearly growth in both segments.

Operators in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay are
all in heavy competition with cable operators to expand their serving areas and
the speeds they offer,” explains Jeff Heynen, directing analyst for
broadband access and video at Infonetics Research.

For its research study the market research firm tracked
companies such as ADTRAN, Alcatel-Lucent, Allied Telesis, Calix, Corecess,
Dasan, ECI, Ericsson, Fiberhome, Fujitsu, Huawei, Iskratel, Millinet,
Mitsubishi, Motorola, NEC, Nokia Siemens, OF Networks, Sumitomo, Tellabs,
UTStarcom, Zhone, ZTE and  ZyXEL.
