Optical wavelength services are fiber optic, point-to-point, high bandwidth delivery-based services. They deploy dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) to multiplex multiple wavelengths across a fiber optic single strand for transporting excessive sets of data and files to data centers. Optical wavelength services are extensively employed in the telecommunication industry for high-resolution video streaming, data center interconnection and credit card processing. They offer various benefits, such as security, flexibility, end-to-end management of information technology (IT) staff, network maintenance, cost-effectiveness and real-time response.
The widespread adoption of optical wavelength services in various industrial verticals for operating bandwidth-intensive applications is one of the key factors primarily driving the global optical wavelength market toward growth. Additionally, the increasing requirement for automation and data and file transportation in intelligent data center networking is positively influencing the market growth. In line with this, the rising utilization of optical wavelength services for minimizing the business expenditure is providing a boost to the market growth considerably. Furthermore, the market is driven by the growing inclination of business and service provider networks toward the various multimedia services, such as cloud computing, voice over internet protocol (VoIP), internet of things (IoT), virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR). Other factors, including increasing funding and investments for research and development (R&D) for introducing innovative technologies coupled with numerous initiatives undertaken by governments of various nations for promoting the development of communication infrastructure, are projected to drive the market further.
