Market analysis for optoelectronic transceiver in short range data transmission

Abstract

With the increasing demanding of bandwidth in information technology, electronic connections meet the limitation in high speed processing in shorter and shorter reach. In the work, three markets for optical connection with different reach, which range from 10km down to 1 meter, have been discussed. The 10km market denotes for the LAN standard and would mature soon. For the 100m range, active cable has emerged to meet the requirement and would penetrate the market soon. The detail analysis would be addressed on 1-10 meet market, where electronic cables have just met the limitation. Cost modeling and business plan has been conducted. After that, the conclusion and suggestions would be made on that reach.
