《World IPTV Access Infrastructure Market Insight》简介:
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled World IPTV Access Infrastructure Market Insight provides an overview of the material covered in an upcoming study that analyzes the global IPTV access infrastructure markets. It offers insights into the top five technology and regional trends as well as the factors influencing the revenue growth in the global market. It includes market share for each of the product types and brief vendor profiles along with competitive analysis. The base year of the study is calendar year 2007. The insight and forthcoming study does not include other forms of video delivery such as Internet TV, which we define as streaming video on broadband, and consider a less sophisticated service delivery method. In addition, the study analyzes IPTV access services provided to residential customers. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts examine the following markets: digital subscriber line (DSL), point-to-point Ethernet, and passive optical networking (PON). The geographic regions covered are North America, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Asia Pacific, and Latin America, including Mexico, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
Technological Superiority of IP Makes a Case for IPTV Access Infrastructure
Frost & Sullivan has defined Internet Protocol television (IPTV) in its upcoming study as streams of video transported in the IP data path as IP packets in a managed network infrastructure. The IPTV access market is expected to be largely boosted by the excellent suitability of IP for interactive video services such as video on demand and gaming, and thus the projected increase in the required bandwidth. "Since IPTV is inherently a switched digital video technology that uses a two-way digital broadcast and can handle video streams from the consumer end, interactive services requiring high bandwidth will hence be optimally delivered using IP," notes the analyst. "In addition, since set-top boxes are IP based, this will allow for greater integration among the other IP devices in the home network."
Consequent to the bright prospects of the adoption of advanced IPTV services, the world IPTV access infrastructure markets is all set to exhibit solid growth over the next seven years. There are multiple technologies in the access networks and communication service providers (CSPs) need to leverage the deployed network and migrate seamlessly. Market participants are likely to be gladdened by the increasing numbers of CSPs that are looking at overbuilding their network with fiber and taking fiber all the way to the customer premise. CSPS are driven to lay fiber due to several factors such as offers of new services, the age of the plant and rehabilitation costs, depreciation considerations, and maintainability. All these factors also buoy the market for IPTV access infrastructure. |
