This report looks at the burgeoning Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) fiber segment and how Gigabit Ethernet (Gig-E) is being used as an alternative to the less easily deployed, more expensive SONET protocol traditionally provided by incumbent carriers.
In the tradition of New Paradigm Resources Group, Inc. (NPRG), this report looks at the Gig-E/MAN market by assessing individual companies comprising this space. The 16 profiles in this 1st Edition of the Gig-E/MAN Report™ look at the companies from the ground up by reporting on details including: actual or estimated quantitative metrics such as revenue and capital expenditure; strategy; major accounts; partnerships; services; networks and markets served; and financing.
Using the research for these profiles, along with other analysis we have done of this market, the Report also looks at estimated aggregate revenues and capital expenditures, forecasting these numbers through 2003. The Report also charts the cities in which the various Gig-E players are operational. In an overview of the Gig-E/MAN space, NPRG provides analysis of the subject as of the first half of 2001 and extrapolates trends for the future.
Ideally, the reader should come away with four things: an overview of the Gig-E/ MAN space, present and future; a picture of the individual players presently involved in the space; insight into the business models being implemented; and a developing idea of how the market might develop over the next several years. Additionally, readers of NPRG’s BLEC Report™, 2nd Edition will begin to see how the Gig-E/MAN segment entwines with the in-building data and voice delivery segment.
