Global Gigabit broadband users will reach 100 million in 2020, with the strongest growth in the Asia-Pacific region - ADSS optical cable manufacturer
Global Gigabit Fixed Broadband in 2020 There are at least 100 million access users, at least some of whom are G.fast users.
The report predicts that the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of gigabit broadband users between now and 2020 will reach 65%, and nearly 70% of the growth will come from the Asia-Pacific region.
Point Topic report pointed out that there are currently less than 10 million gigabit broadband users in the world. However, with the continuous introduction of gigabit services and the decline in service costs, gigabit broadband Broadband users will also grow.
Point Topic CEO Oliver Johnson said that although G.fast can only achieve gigabit transmission over shorter transmission distances, the technology can already meet the needs of operators. Most of the demand and therefore G.fast users will also grow during the forecast period.
"In mature markets with copper infrastructure in the local loop, G.fast is undoubtedly the most cost-effective technology choice, so I expect that in the next five years, today's Most of the leading markets will adopt some G.fast, and some of them may have G.fast market coverage approaching 50%," Johnson said.
Broadband Forum CEO Robin Mersh also believes that the development trend of gigabit services reflects that more and more users want to use next-generation services, such as 4K video, location-based services, security, home automation, video sharing, gaming and home office, etc., while G. Fast is a way for operators with copper wire networks to implement these services.
