OFC 2023: The Terabit Era
OFC 2023 was a great conference this year with the exhibit hall packed with people exchanging thoughts and ideas. One of the main technology themes at the show was around terabit-capable coherent wavelengths. Hence, my main takeaway from the conference was that we are now in the Terabit Era.
MWC 2023–RAN Market Key Takeaways
We just returned from MWC after a couple of intense days of meetings. RAN might not be the fastest growing market but from a technology perspective, the pace of change simply remains impressive and the MWC is a great event to witness the progress. In this blog, we want to point out a few RAN-related observations that could potentially impact the RAN forecast or vendor dynamics.
Massive MIMO Slowed in 2022 – Still More Growth Ahead
Preliminary findings suggest Massive MIMO RAN revenues reached new record levels in 2022. At the same time, year-over-year comparisons are becoming more challenging and the implications are that growth is slowing. With Massive MIMO revenues expanding at a low-single-digit rate in 2022, the timing is right to review market status and near-term expectations.
RAN Market—A Look into 2023
With 2022 now almost in the rear-view mirror, the timing is right to review how the RAN market is unfolding and more importantly, what is on the horizon for 2023. In this blog, we will review three projections regarding the overall RAN market, 5G, and Open RAN.
Data Center Infrastructure Market—A Look into 2023
The market conditions will be dramatically different in 2023 compared to the prior year, as supply chains normalize, and demand softens with mounting economic uncertainties. We anticipate the market to maintain near-term growth fueled by backlogged shipments and the current cloud expansion cycle before decelerating through most of 2023. We identify some key trends below that will shape 2023.
Broadband Access & Home Networking Market—A Look into 2023
Even without the benefit of having finalized fourth quarter numbers, all signs—both quantitative and qualitative—point to another year of spending increases on broadband equipment in 2023, albeit nowhere near the double-digit percentage growth we have seen over the last two years. Here are some predictions from Jeff Heynen, Vice President at Dell’Oro Group
Campus Switch Market—A Look into 2023
Now the big question is what’s next and what does that mean for 2023 performance? Should we expect a market pull-back, especially in light of rising macroeconomic uncertainties? And what other trends should we watch in 2023? Here are predictions from Sameh Boujelbene, VP for Ethernet Switch, Campus and Data Center market.

What’s next for Data Center Switch market in 2023? Here are the predictions from Sameh Boujelbene, VP analyst for Data Center Switch market research
Mobile Core Network & Multi-Access Edge Market—A Look into 2023
In the last year, we focused on the momentum for 5G Standalone network deployments by MNOs, 5G Mobile Private Networks, and 5G Workloads moving to the Public Cloud. As we started the year, the hopes were high for all three of these segments, with much press coverage at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. As the year unfolded, all three disappointed, not living up to the expectations.
