Product Definition:
A Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) Module is a device that allows an operator to selectively route optical signals of different wavelengths through a fiber-optic network. The importance of Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) Modules is that they provide the ability to direct specific wavelengths of light down particular paths in a fiber-optic network, which can be useful for optimizing traffic flow and preventing congestion.
LCOS based Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) Modules:
The wavelength selective switch modules are based on Liquid Crystal On Silicon (LCOS). The technology is used in the manufacture of display devices and optical components. It offers a wide range of benefits such as low power consumption, high switching speed, low cost manufacturing process and compact size. These factors make LCOS-based WSS modules an ideal solution for various applications including data communications, telecommunication systems and displays.
MEMS based Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) Modules:
A Wavelength selective switch (WSS) module is a device that allows selection of different optical wavelengths by passing the light through a series of filters. The WSS modules are widely used in telecommunications, fiber optic communications, and other applications where wavelength-specific performance is required. A WSS module consists of an array of photodiodes or transistors that are responsible for selecting the desired wavelength.
Application Insights:
1x4 or less add/drop module was the largest application segment in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The 1x4 add/drop modules are compact and consume low power, which makes them ideal for wireless communication devices such as smartphones, hotspots, laptops etc. Furthermore, these types of add/drop modules support a large number of users at a time due to their small size.
The 1x5 or larger add/drop module segment is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period owing to its increased functionality and features including multi-user capability with high data rates. These types of wavelength selective switch modules are widely used in fixed as well as mobile communications applications across various regions such as North America, Europe Asia Pacific etc.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific region accounted for the largest market share in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. This can be attributed to increasing demand for higher data rates, rising number of Broadband Access Providers (BAPs) and growing investments in next-generation infrastructure. The Asia Pacific regional market is also anticipated to witness significant growth opportunities due to rapidly expanding telecommunication sector coupled with government initiatives such as “Make in India†campaign which provides various tax benefits on manufacturing equipment within India.
The Latin American regional market is projected to grow at a lucrative rate over the forecast period owing to increasing adoption of optical fiber networks across several large enterprises located within Brazil, Mexico and Argentina countries. Moreover, extensive research & development activities by key players operating in this industry are likely boost product demand across this region during the forecast years from 2018 till 2030 timeframe.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for bandwidth-intensive applications: The growth of bandwidth-intensive applications such as 4K video, cloud services, and big data is driving the need for higher speed and more capacity optical networks. This is resulting in increased demand for WSS modules.
- Growing popularity of metro and long-haul optical networks: The deployment of metro and long-haul optical networks is increasing due to the advantages they offer over traditional copper wire infrastructure such as lower latency, higher bandwidth, and greater reliability. This is also contributing to the growth of the WSS modules market.
- Proliferation of data centers: The proliferation of data centers across all industries is fueling demand for high performance networking solutions that can meet the stringent requirements of these facilities. WSS modules are well suited for this application and are seeing growing adoption in data center environments.
