The synchronous optical network (SONET) is a standard telecommunications protocol that allows telecommunications carriers to more efficiently transport customer traffic via fiber optic transmission facilities. SONET supports transmission speeds in North America and Canada from 51.84 Mbit/s to 9.953 Gbit/s. Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), IP, Ethernet, and virtual private networks (VPNs) can be transported directly over SONET/SDH networks. SONET enables interworking of multiple packet technologies and circuit emulation services for legacy services.

The global Synchronous Optical Network Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 6.30 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 12% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Dynamics:
Rapid development of telecommunication infrastructure across the globe due to increasing mobile data traffic is estimated to drive the growth of the synchronous optical network market over the forecast period. According to Cisco's Visual Networking Index, annual global IP traffic will surpass 3.3 zettabytes by 2022. Synchronous optical networking technology enables transmission of high speed data over optical fiber cables. Further, large investments from major telecom providers for deploying 5G infrastructure also bodes well for the market growth. For instance, Verizon communicated plans to invest $18 billion for 5G deployment in 2019. In addition, rising government initiatives for developing smart cities will further drive the market. However, shifting trend towards packet-based networking may hinder the market growth.

SWOT Analysis

Strength: Synchronous optical networking provides reliable data transmission over long distances without requiring external timing sources or signal regeneration. It can transport data, voice, and video signals simultaneously over the same optical fiber. The network synchronization enables automatic restoration and re-routing of traffic in case of failures.

Weakness: Initial setup costs for synchronous optical networks are high as it requires synchronization hardware and network management systems. Any faults occurring in the core network can disrupt entire traffic and require extensive repairs.

Opportunity: The growth of 5G technology and internet of things is fueling the demand for high-speed data transmission networks. Synchronous optical networks offer higher bandwidth and lower latency compared to asynchronous networks. The need for efficient bandwidth utilization across data centers and cloud networks present an opportunity.

Threats: The development of new asynchronous networking technologies like flexible grid networks poses a threat. Strict regulatory compliances for network synchronization across countries also impact market growth. Deployment challenges in remote and under-developed areas restrict the network expansion.

Key Takeaways
