In this report, Technavio analysts highlight the reduction in transportation costs and scalability beyond 40G as a key factor contributing to the growth of the global silicon photonics products market:
Reduction in transportation costs and scalability beyond 40G
The adoption of silicon photonics has benefited the carriers substantially. This network structure has permitted them to transport data across several clients on a single wavelength and preserve their specific requirements. The overall cost of transportation has also reduced as this technology does not require separate wavelengths for separate clients, thereby further confirming efficient bandwidth utilization. Carriers can provide high-capacity services at speeds of 100G and above using silicon photonics. The network architecture of silicon photonics is designed and optimized to support massive capacity services such as 400G or even terabit payloads. This will create a demand for silicon photonic devices in the global market.
According to a senior analyst at Technavio, “The silicon photonics technology can support the partitioning of the network into separate private networks. This permits the carriers to provide the clients with a dedicated, specific, and configurable bandwidth that guarantees network capacity and improved performance. This portioning does not affect the existing services or existing users in any way. Therefore, clients can have a dedicated and independent set of network resources.”
The flexibility of the network architecture allows carriers to employ the technology required to support the current transport demands. Furthermore, it also permits the future adoption of innovative technologies as per business requirements. Also, silicon photonics technology permits quicker service, provisioning, and better time-to-revenue.
