#mere network

Have recombinate been and has alreadied raised the curtain by concerned telecommunications, will hold. As to calm market of China Telecom over the past more than half year, where will next focus present? Networking in which field form invest climax? The reporter thinks, mere networking will become and recombinate one of the key fields that the last every large telecommunication operator invests in the construction of in the second half year most probably, and then spur investment of the new round of telecommunication. To mere networking that has already turned out a prestigious institution before this, it is an opportunity to recombinate, the broad band demand is the motive force, the difference demand is a challenge. While the telecommunication network makes the transition toward the whole IP, the development of the mere network will undoubtedly welcome the new opportunity.

Motive force, opportunity and challenge

To the improvement day by day of the broadband demand with users, broadband exceeds the narrowband, data to exceed the speech, it is the unresistable trend. The Internet user of broadband only accounted for 6.3% in all Internet users in 2002, this already nearly 78% proportions in 2007, indicate the development of China Internet has already stepped into broadband era. By the end of 2007, Chinese Internet user's quantity reaches 210 million, among them Internet user is up to 163 million broadband, the number of users of the broadband access is up to 66,460,000. In the first quarter of 2008, the number of users of China's broadband will exceed U.S.A. to occupy first place in the world especially, up to 71,600,000. By the end of September of 2007, China lay the intersection of optical cable and total number up to 5,441,045 the intersection of skin and long kilometer already, the used optic fibre exceeds 100 million core kilometers, increase the long kilometer (27%) of 116 covers compared with the end of 2006 . These figures mark the steady-state growth of networking of China's optical communication.

The rapid increase of broadband users, come from users to heighten to the demand of the video service to a great extent. In the bandwidth is consumed, there is a very important factor now, the video taking P2P as transmission mode is employed and developed. P2P has already accounted for 60% to 80% of the whole network traffic. Future video of Internet represented by P2P is employed more popularly, employs and contains a plurality of fields such as the amusement, education, commercial affair, information service, and is developing toward high definition video. In addition, the operator will drive the demand snowball of the bandwidth to the popularization of business such as IPTV, video controlling, video communication. The applied focus of broadband mainly has IPTV, enterprise's informationization, E-business, instant messaging, blog, Network Games and Home Networking,etc.. The business of wideband multimedia relying mainly on audio frequency and video uses more and more extensive, become the mainstream. Broadband service at the same time is recreational more and more outstanding, the new business emerges in an endless stream. In addition until informationalized acceleration develop, user and personal user rent to high quality, high-capacity resource and fictitious demand of network service get more and more, original basic data traffic network, traditional mere transport networks, developing IP networks can't totally meet these demands, still depend on the characteristic mere business network of possessing high capacity, transmittance, high quality, intelligent etc..

The broadband service will move towards diversification and difference progressively, force the intersection of telecommunication and operator need, make the transition to more personalized service subdivide on the basis of the customer, progressively offering popular communication based on general demand service. Require broadband to meet the demand that the business makes the transition, can be while offering high network bandwidth, bear the weight of business such as pronunciation, video, data, Internet, and can and employ the demand according to the customer, ability to offer difference service.

Broadband demonstrates the diversification of type of traffic and business and flows into the uncertain characteristic. Diversification, individualized, characteristics such as melting, amusing,etc. immediately are appearing in the customers of masses. And commercial customers such as enterprises, the government,etc., have fast, such demand characteristics as security, service quality are transparent, it is mutual that it is turned to interdynamic strong information that the concrete demand has already been communicated briefly, inside information has been fast respects such as flowing, information security backup,etc.. In addition ISP, ICP customer, the intersection of demand and characteristic of them have management,etc. high in quality, cover, the instructions for use have already been rented the demand to turn to the fictitious network resource gradually. To different users' difference demand, besides adjusting on the access network aspect, with the technical progress, the mere transport network will play a one's own role too. The mere transport network not only offers for operator's one's own business network and transmits the basic network supported, also begin more and more as the mere business network multi-place offers resources for customer and hires out business and various forms transport service directly. The service method of the mere business network is to realize the difference is served, can offer technical indicators such as different protection grade, time delay, usability,etc. to different customers and different application, and service indexes such as different openning time limit, rate, service rank,etc..

Improving the capacity has already become task of top priority

The most important characteristic of optical communication has the bandwidth resources that can not be nearly used up. According to prediction of China Telecom, within the following 5 years, bandwidth 50% speed of the above increase with every year, by 2010, the trunk line bandwidth flowrate will reach above 50Tbit/s, more than 97% among them are the bandwidth of data. So, it is existing and newly building primary task that the capacity of the optical transmission line is development of mere network in the future to improve.

There are two routes to improve capacity: Raise single-channel transmission rate and increase number of channels. The applied DWDM technology at present, the single-channel speed regards 10Gbit/s as the mainstream, the wavelength counts and can support 160 waves at most. Further improve the wavelength supported and count the difficulty relatively largely. So, upgrading 10Gbit/s to 40Gbit/s becomes very urgent task, the application of 40Gbit/s is urgent day by day in other words.

According to the research report that the advisory organization Infonetics made recently, the income of market of global mere network hardware of fourth quarter of 2007 increases by 16% compared with the third quarter, have reached 3,300 million dollars; And the income of market of mere network hardware of the whole year of 2006 has increased by 11%, has reached 11,900 million dollars. This research report still predicts, the income of market of global mere network equipment in 2010 will reach 12,200 million dollars.

This research report shows, on the market of mere network equipment, always SONET/SDH apparatus has been in the absolute monopoly position, its share was up to 64% in 2006. But the non-traditional mere apparatus SONET/SDH as the global increasingly much service provider adopts WDM and Ethernet apparatus in its access network, not much auspicious days of these traditional mere network equipment. From 2007, the expenses of the operator on SONET/SDH mere apparatus is cut down year by year, and WDM apparatus expenses increases year by year. The chief analyst Michael Howard of this organization thinks, on the market of mere network equipment, the monopoly position of SONET/SDH apparatus has already kept for a long time, but from 2002, the investment of the operator on WDM apparatus began to increase year by year. In fact, in the fourth quarter of 2006, WDM mere apparatus sales amount increased by 18%, and SONET mere apparatus sales amount glided 18%. In 2002, the share of WDM apparatus on the market of whole mere network hardware was 30%, and SONET/SDH was 70%, only 8 years later, it is 2010, it is estimated the expenses of WDM mere network equipment will begin to exceed SONET/SDH apparatus for the first time.

This research report is pointed out, competition pressure, broadband, movement traffic flow and IPTV and video content,etc. opportunity increased day by day are promoting its network of operator's constant staging, the market of mere network will continue keeping the momentum of growing up healthy and sound among 5 years that this is impelled next, but the situation that the transition from SONET/SDH to WDM apparatus will make the income on the market of whole mere network equipment basically keep balancing in the following 5 years.
