G-fast Chips Market Shares Strategies And Forecasts Worldwide 2014 To 2020

Published: Nov, 2014 | Pages: 258 | Publisher: WinterGreen Research
Industry: ICT | Report Format: Electronic (PDF)

The G-Fast chip market was valued at USD 31 million in 2014 and is estimated to reach USD 2.9 billion by 2020. G-fast is making profit out of network flexibility support and broadband for data centres, cell tower communications and consumers. G-fast network sustains the broadband and is flexible. Broadband is being used in each industry hence G-fast chip market is expanding fast considerable growth.

Laterally broadband network influences a combination of visual connections in the long pull and copper connections in only remaining meters from supply box to the house. Fibbers witnessed rapid advancement but wasn’t practical for houses being too costly. FTTH being too costly DSL was the option which is replaced by G-Fast. Broadband technology based on copper assures a long life.

Almost the whole world is using broadband and the anticipation is that by the end of 2025, it will be used by each and everyone though a lot has to be done for this. The second quarter of 2014 has witnessed a speed more than 4-megabite mark globally as per the network service company. The top broadband user was South Korea both in proportion of broadband population and usual broadband. India having vast rural area and Philippines are working hard to distribute good speed.

East Asia ranked first followed by Northern European Countries with respect to the speed and penetration of broadband. US is left behind is this aspect. The Mid-Atlantic States were at the top in connectivity, 4K readiness and even speed with reference to 15 megabit which is capable of managing ultra-high-def broadcast in the U. S. Arkansas is the slowest state in US with respect to broadband.

Copper is too costly to be replaced, which is worth trillions. Even fibber is very expensive to be replaced like copper. Copper works in G-Fast and FTTH DSL like places and doesn’t need replacement. Copper being line of transportation, xDSL industry will remain strong for quite some time. 

Copper infrastructure is influenced by G-Fast as telecommunication is using it everywhere. Copper is providing residential connectivity everywhere. The backbone of wireless transportation is still copper which is vital as new wireless scheme persist to enlarge their markets. It is creating requirement which can support signal transport on copper wire with high speed prevailing in restricted circle. Copper base broadband is anticipated to remain at the top as the leading technology globally over the forecast period.
