Accelerating Bandwidth Requirements Driving Need for Passive Optical LAN

“The growing need for higher bandwidth is a major opportunity for players in the passive optical LAN market,” states the lead analyst. IT professionals have declared that the demand for higher bandwidth is presently large and is likely to grow in the near future owing to the increasing number of subscribers using a greater number of connected devices and data-dense services. “Africa and Asia are likely to witness a sudden surge in the demand for bandwidth, rising at a CAGR of more than 38%,” the analyst predicts.

Moreover, POL solutions are greener than conventional copper-based Ethernet local area networks. This is expected to further bolster the passive optical LAN market over the forecast period. TMR predicts that the impact of this factor will remain high over the coming years.

In contrast, various technical and operational issues such as data and signal losses, dispersion, and attenuation threaten to impede the global passive optical LAN market.
