ROADM WSS Component Market: Overview
Organizations looking to cost-effectively deploy WDM networks find Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS)-based Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexers (ROADMs) a suitable option. The relatively low cost of ROADM WSS accounts for their popularity. The WSS component offers end users benefits of high flexibility, size, and remarkable increase in performance. WSS essentially formed a part of the market when first-generation ROADM entered the networking industry. The deployment of WSS gathered traction as a key technology in ROADMs since the former enabled end users to transition to high capacity network infrastructure without any significant upgrade. The drive for deploying multi-degree hub nodes and mesh architectures is one of the business proposition for users in the ROADM WSS component market.
ROADM WSS can be single node or multi-node. Over the years, the ROADM WSS component market has seen the proliferation in the development of the latter equipped with advanced features. The aim of technological advances is to improve wavelength connection, increase switching flexibility, and optimize operation cost.
The various types in the ROADM WSS component market includes blocker-based, edge ROADMs, PLC-based, in addition to the popular WSS technology.

ROADM WSS Component Market: Regional Assessment
Among the various regions, North America has witnessed considerable opportunities, mainly on the back of surge in high data traffic in enterprises in developed countries. Massive technological advancements by network providers have also spurred growth of the regional market.
Meanwhile, Asia Pacific is expected to rise at a rapid pace. The growth will be propelled by the rising government initiatives to upgrade network infrastructure for enterprises and commercial users. Moreover, growing demand for high-speed network infrastructure will boost the regional market.
ROADM is a system that allows flexible, precise, and remote selection of wavelengths transiting a given intermediate node on network for dropping or adding. ROADM components allow access to any wavelength passing through node. This can be done for adding or modifying the data before transmitting to the next node. ROADM components also allows interconnection of multiple intersecting networks at optical level preventing the expense and complexity of OEO conversions to setting up interconnection.
The key factor contributing to growth of ROADM WSS component market is the growing demand for dynamic ROADMs. Global market is also experiencing an upsurge in the demand for adoption of wavelength selective switches (WSS) enabled ROADMs. However, product cost and quality are some of the major challenges faced by this industry that can hinder its growth rate. Growth of WSS market slowed down during past few months as a result of excessive supply chain inventory; however, this market is expected to resume growth in the near future as a result of surging demand for technologically improved components.
