DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zdc3kw/2014_global) has announced the addition of the "2014 Global Service Provider Survey: VDSL2 Vectoring Deployment Strategies & Vendor Leadership" report to their offering.
This VDSL2 Vectoring Deployment Strategies and Vendor Leadership survey analyzes results from interviews with incumbent and competitive operators in North America, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), Asia Pacific, and CALA (Caribbean and Latin America) about plans for VDSL2 Vectoring. In addition, the survey features operator ratings of 8 vendors (Alcatel-Lucent, ADTRAN, Calix, ECI, Huawei, Iskratel, KEYMILE, and ZTE) on 5 criteria.
The author of the report interviewed via telephone, in-person and on-line, 36 service providers during February and March 2014, regarding their plans for VDSL2 Vectoring deployment. The respondents, from all major regions, represent 31 percent of all deployed DSL lines at the end of 2013 and were either the primary decision maker or have strong influence in the planning and purchasing of VDSL2 Vectoring solutions.
KEY FINDINGS
- 57 percent of respondents are actively deploying VDSL2 vectoring technology or are in trial and plan to deploy by the end of 2014
- The overwhelming driver for deployment of VDSL2 Vectoring is to offer faster speeds; with most operators planning to offer speeds of 50-75Mbps
- CPE compatibility remained the greatest challenge facing operators as they deploy VDSL2 Vectoring
- Operators have low expectations for self-installation of VDSL2 Vectoring, with only 19 percent expecting 60 percent or more of their customers to self-install
- The #1 challenge addressed by specialized software-based management for VDSL2 Vectoring was qualifying customers for service
- 42 percent of respondents are currently evaluating G.fast technology, while 52 percent are unsure of its impact on VDSL2 Vectoring deployments
- Alcatel-Lucent is perceived as the top VDSL2 Vectoring DSLAM vendor by respondents, followed by Huawei and ADTRAN.
- Service providers gave the highest marks to VDSL2 Vectoring vendors Alcatel-Lucent, Huawei and ADTRAN for technology innovation, product Availability, product roadmap, service & support and pricing.
