Companies are increasing research efforts to maximize system flexibility by developing transceivers that integrate with multiple interfaces. They are increasing R&D to analyze mobile RF front-end architectures of smartphones to support global LTE (long term evolution) standards in the IT and telecommunications landscape. As such, IT and telecommunications accounts for the highest sale of transceivers, and is estimated to reach a value of ~US$ 12.7 billion by 2022, in the transceiver market.
Manufacturers are onboarding the best researchers to develop transceivers that offer quality communications and cost-efficient scalability. They are increasing production capacities to develop advanced transceivers that transform 5G wireless equipment, such as smartphones and tablets, and are being increasingly used in IoT applications. Companies are introducing new frequency bands in transceivers that support 5G applications.
Tunable Transceivers Serve as Alternative to Static Counterparts to Reduce Downtime
There is growing demand for tunable devices in the rapidly expanding networking technology landscape. Manufacturers are innovating cutting-edge technology that provides on-site wavelength adjustment in tunable transceivers. Static transceivers require multiple backups to reduce downtime in the DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing) space. Hence, tunable transceivers are an efficient alternative to their static counterparts, since the former offer more flexibility in optical networking.
The burgeoning growth of networking technology is triggering the sales of tunable transceivers in the global transceiver market. However, tunable transceivers cost more than static transceivers. Tunable transceiver technology also presents a challenge for operators attempting to interface tunable transceivers with legacy equipment. To win over these limitations, companies are introducing transceiver management modules, AKA tuning boxes, to host tunable transceivers in various DWDM environments. The efficacy of tuning boxes is leveraged with the help of tuning software to reinforce on-the-go tuning through proprietary mobile tuning applications.
Automotive Ethernet Transceivers Translate into Incremental Opportunities across In-vehicle Networks
The automotive industry accounts for the second-highest revenue amongst all end-use industries in the transceiver market that require technologically-advanced transceivers. Companies in the landscape are developing new Ethernet PHY (physical layer) transceivers that are standard-complaint and interoperable in automotive technology. These efforts are being made to offer sleep and wake-up-forwarding functionality in vehicles.
Ethernet PHY transceivers are helping automotive manufacturers reach their end goal of high efficiency in future electric vehicle architectures. Besides car brands such as BMW, JLR, and VW, automotive manufacturers are augmenting the application of Ethernet in infotainment, telematics, and ADAS (advanced driver-assistance systems) for other automobile companies. The trend of connected cars is further catalyzing market growth.
