DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/784d7f/optical_network_ha) has announced the addition of the "Optical Network Hardware Market in the EMEA Region 2010-2014" report to their offering.

One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the higher bandwidth requirements of end-users. The Optical Network Hardware market in the EMEA region has also been witnessing operators shifting from SDH to WDM optical equipment. However, the high initial investment cost of optical hardware in the EMEA region could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. TechNavio's report, Optical Network Hardware Market in the EMEA Region 2010-2014, has been prepared based on an in-depth analysis of the market with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the growth and future prospects of the Optical Network Hardware market in the EMEA region. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

Key vendors dominating this market space include Alcatel-Lucent, Huawei, ZTE, and Ericsson.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio's Telecom team said, "The Optical Network Hardware market in the EMEA region is witnessing vendors shifting from SDH to WDM technology. The shift is primarily because of the high bandwidth requirements of end-users and the need for multiple channels. Interestingly, the market is also witnessing higher growth in Central and Eastern Europe than in Western Europe."

According to the report, the EMEA region is witnessing the deployment of high-speed broadband with capacities of up to 100 Mbps, which is creating the demand for optical network hardware. The existing copper line cannot support such high bandwidth requirements; hence, carriers and telecommunication operators are replacing copper wires with fiber cables. The report also discusses the challenges associated with the absence of proper infrastructure in some parts of this region.
