The Service Provider Landscape Is Being Transformed Radically

Content Video Data Center Cloud

New Traffic Patterns, Nonstop Bandwidth GrowthMission-Critical Businesses

Networks Need Scale and Reliability


The Service Provider Landscape Is Being Transformed Radically

Networks Need Agility with Cost Control

Highly Competitive Environment

New Revenue Opportunities to

Offset Rising Costs

Tectonic Shifts in Business Models


The Dismantling of Decade Old Status Quo Networks is Underway

Routing (L3)

Transport(L0-L1)

Routers need Transport systems to connect

Transport Becomes More Capable with More Intelligence

$14B 5 Year CAGR lowered from 7.2% to 3.5%

$$ Shifting to Transport

$12B 5 Year CAGR steady at 10.6%
