Ethernet test equipment market abuzz with activity

USA: The end users' demand for high density test equipment is considered both a driver and a challenge for Ethernet test equipment vendors.

While offering immense growth opportunities, test vendors are constantly challenged to keep their products, such as Layer4 wire-speed transmission communications protocol and Internet protocol (TCP/IP) testing, Y.1564, 1588v2/SYNC, IPv6, to name a few, aligned with the market's emerging functional test requirements. On top of completing all of this, they must continue providing the most value for money for end users.

Attendees of this presentation will learn about the growth of the Gigabit Ethernet test equipment market, along with finding out who are the key market participants in this area. Topics to be discussed include drivers and restraints, as well as revenue figures corresponding to the 1,10,40/100 Gigabit Ethernet market.

"The increasing complexity of protocols and the concurrent development of different standards call for Ethernet test equipment with greater testing capabilities," said Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Prathima Bommakanti. "However, as protocols become more difficult to comply with, it is a bigger challenge for the test equipment to provide the desired results."
