Carrier Ethernet Switch Market Posts Record Revenues in the Second Quarter

Market Rebounds after First Quarter

Redwood City, Calif. – August 16, 2007 –The Carrier Ethernet Switch report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, reveals that revenues for the second quarter of 2007 attained record levels, following a decline in the first quarter of this year. The report, which tracks Ethernet switches used by telecommunications carriers in the access and aggregation portions of their networks, indicates that the recent quarter’s growth was driven by higher-speed and higher-function switches.  

“Given the strong growth of faster, more feature-rich switches, it looks like service providers invested more heavily in the aggregation network layer this quarter,” said Seamus Crehan, Vice President at Dell’Oro Group.
