New York, NY (6/17/2022) – The telecom services market is rapidly evolving, and thanks to various technological innovations as well as high consumer demand, it is expected to grow significantly. One of the major drivers of this market is the proliferation of smartphones around the world and particularly in emerging markets, which elevates demand for data connectivity and for related technologies. As a result, governments around the world are investing in creating new infrastructure for telecom services. Currently, the Asia-Pacific region has the largest share of the market, accounting for about 33% in 2021. And, according to data provided by Precedence Research, the telecom services market was valued at USD 1.73 Trillion in 2021 and is projected to reach approximately USD 2.65 Trillion by 2030, while growing at a CAGR of 4.85% from 2022 to 2030. uCloudlink Group Inc.

CommScope Holding Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: COMM) announced last month a new cloud-to-edge suite of next-generation XGS-PON solutions built to facilitate the rapid global growth in FTTP deployments. Around the world, service providers are facing ever increasing competitive pressure to deploy new fiber networks or upgrade existing ones in response to exponential consumer demand as well as new opportunities in government and private sector infrastructure funding. To address this challenge, CommScope is introducing a new cloud-to-edge XGS-PON solution built with industry standards, supporting a 10G future. The suite achieves this through three primary attributes: a flexible architecture; open, interoperable components; and dynamic, cloud-based operation. The cloud-to-edge solution allows service providers in both greenfield FTTH and fiber-deeper scenarios to bridge multiple network topologies and take advantage of SDN efficiencies to prepare their networks for the future, regardless of what the future will require.
