Service providers are increasingly looking to extend fiber not only to homes and businesses, but also within those locations to ensure the fastest and most reliable connections possible. Similarly, there is a growing number of enterprises, hotels, and MDUs that are increasingly overbuilding their existing copper Ethernet networks with fiber and providing either point-to-point or point-to-multipoint networks to their employees, guests, and residents and to Wi-Fi access points. Enterprises, hotels, and MDU owners are looking to move to fiber to reduce power consumption and to ensure bandwidth will be available to support full Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.

To take advantage of the opportunities associated with the extension of fiber into and throughout homes and businesses, component and equipment manufacturers, cable operators, and financial institutions will find answers to critical business questions, including:

  • What are the primary business drivers and use cases for extending fiber connections into and throughout homes and businesses? Will growing AI usage be a catalyst for the copper to fiber transition?
  • Which PON technologies will be used in each of these deployments and in which regions?
  • What percentage of existing Ethernet switches or routers will be upgraded with pluggable OLT modules to support enterprise PON deployments?
  • Which ISPs will use fiber-to-the-room (FTTR) to differentiate their residential fiber services and how successful will they be?

The report includes  tables showing manufacturers’ revenue, units shipped, and average selling prices. The report also includes a 5-year forecast for the following areas:

  • Segments: PON OLTs and ONTs used in fiber-to-the-room (FTTR) and fiber-in-the-building (FITB) applications
  • Regions: North America, EMEA, Asia Pacific excluding China, China only, CALA, and Worldwide
