New Tech drive growth in Fiber Optic test equipment mkts

Due to the increasing need in the market for higher bandwidth in the access network, demand for metro area networks has increased exponentially. Most end users of FOTE are choosing this method of bringing higher bandwidth to their customers, thereby driving the growth of FOTE vendors.

Despite the boost provided by new technologies, upgrading existing test equipment to support these technologies is a considerable challenge for test equipment vendors. Due to the presence of a significant amount of legacy test equipment in the markets, end users are reluctant to invest in new systems unless their older ones need replacement. Therefore, integrating new technologies into a single piece of test equipment could hold the solution to this challenge.

"As compact solutions become increasingly essential to meet end-user demand, test vendors must consider integrating their test solutions into a single piece of equipment," says Sujan. "The key lies in satisfying all the requirements of the end users with a comprehensive test solution."
