Description

Frost Radar™: Wavelength Services in North America, 2024


A Benchmarking System to Spark Companies to Action - Innovation That Fuels New Deal Flow and Growth Pipelines

This Frost Radar™ focuses on leading service providers offering comprehensive wavelength services in North America. The North American market is in a mature stage. In recent years, the request for wavelength services has snowballed, driven by exponential demand for bandwidth from wholesale and retail customers. As such, the market is mainly driven by high bandwidth demand from enterprises looking to accelerate their digital transformation initiatives, adoption of AI-enabled applications, hyperscalers, the use of bandwidth-intensive collaboration tools, and demand for data center and cloud connectivity.

Service providers interviewed for this analysis quoted 100G as the most commonly demanded configuration, while 400G is gaining traction. Network service providers offer additional services to differentiate their offerings, including view, quote, and order via the customer portal; waves on demand; and fiber expansion to increase the number of fiber-lit buildings and enable them to turn up services quickly.

This Frost Radar™ analysis offers a perspective on market trends and assesses six leading providers of wavelength services in North America. Frost & Sullivan analyzed and benchmarked them primarily based on their wavelength portfolios, including their presence in the retail and wholesale segments, and their performance across 10 Growth and Innovation criteria to reveal their position on the Frost Radar™. This publication presents competitive profiles of each company, considering their strengths and the opportunities that best fit those strengths. Some wavelength providers not represented here declined to participate in this analysis or did not respond to interview requests.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
