Description

The North American wavelength services market is in the mature stage of the product life cycle. In recent years, the request for wavelength services has snowballed, driven by exponential demand for high bandwidth from wholesale and retail customers looking to accelerate their digital transformation initiatives, the adoption of AI-enabled applications, hyperscalers and neocloud providers, the use of bandwidth-intensive collaboration tools, and demand for data center-to-data center and cloud connectivity. Service providers interviewed for this analysis noted that 100G remains the most commonly demanded configuration, but they see growing demand for 400G. 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 on pre-provisioned routes.

This Frost Radar™ analysis offers a perspective on market trends and assesses seven leading providers of wavelength services in North America. Frost & Sullivan analyzed and benchmarked 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.

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.
