CMTS market up 30% in 1Q06 as VoIP and high speed Internet access customers increase2 June 2006
Worldwide CMTS revenue jumped 30% to $257million in 1Q06 after a 6% drop in 4Q05, with annual revenue forecast toreach $1.2 billion in 2009, according to Infonetics Research's latest CMTSHardware report.
The surge in the CMTS market, particularly in North America, is beingfueled by the rapid success MSOs are having in signing up new VoIPsubscribers, along with their desire to deliver more bandwidth to existingsubscribers to support new voice, data, and video services.
"Cable operators are feeling the heat from Verizon's and AT&T's fiber andhigher-bandwidth DSL offerings, so they're investing in more CMTS units andports to increase bandwidth to their subscribers," said Jeff Heynen,directing analyst at Infonetics Research. "New DOCSIS 3.0-compliant CMTSesare now beginning to ship, which will allow cable operators to double andtriple the bandwidth to their subscribers. To counter the telcos' tripleplay offerings, cable operators are going for a quadruple play offeringthrough new services like video over DOCSIS and integration with wirelessofferings."
