Overview

Summary
The deployment of FTTH accelerates in regional markets such as Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia. Hence, the major international companies involved in telecommunication, networking equipment, and semiconductor chips are now actively expanding into the market for fiber-optic infrastructure. Furthermore, in China, the qualification of technologies related to 50G PON and the development of FTTR are both gaining momentum. This, in turn, will increase shipments of fiber-optic equipment from Taiwan-based suppliers.
