Line-side 40 and 100Gbps transponder cost and supplier analysis
In this report, we analyze the suppliers and component costs of the leading modulation formats, but do not address transmission performance.
We conclude this market is just under way as components are expensive and the supplier space appears fragile for some components. We also find that transmitters are more advanced, in terms of cost and integration, than receivers.
