NAYNA Networks: About Us: Market Opportunity - Delivering Next Generation Broadband Access Solutions

Market Opportunity

The worldwide deregulation of telecom services and the growing success of bandwidth-hungry applications are creating unprecedented pressure on the local access networks performance. Broadband access is a multibillion-dollar market. According to In-Stat/MDR (www.instat.com) close to 27 million homes in the United States had broadband access at the end of 2003. The 2004 numbers for Japan suggest that FTTH is growing at almost 100,000 new users per month. In Asian countries such as Japan and Korea, broadband penetration has already reached over 60%.

Telecommunications traffic has been growing at a high rate for the last two decades. The real question facing service providers isn't whether broadband access is headed their way but what its impact will be. Will new Internet Protocol (IP) driven applications such as streaming music, streaming video, and voice of IP (VoIP) disrupt their current revenue generation model or take its place as a more revenue-generating asset?

We should not lose sight of the fact that the trend towards online transactions, e-commerce, remote access, mobile workers, office productivity optimization and automation will continue to increase at similar rates as we saw early last decade. Recent Internet traffic measurements indicate that the traffic volumes in the last few years continued to grow at double-digit rates. According to Netcraft.com as the first half of 2004, there were more than 50 million web servers with unique hostnames.

The net effect of this growth is a set of new requirements that are placed on the telecommunication networks. These networks need to be re-thought and re-engineered to address the problems facing today's service providers. Specifically networks need to re-engineered based on Gigabit Ethernet and IP technologies in order to provide the highest throughputs possible at lowest the cost possible.

Nayna Networks™ latest ExpressSTREAM platform addresses and overcomes the unique challenges involved in implementing a Ethernet In The First Mile (EFM) broadband access infrastructure for the service providers, especially those associated with delivering broadband services to homes, apartments, hotels and business parks in urban and suburban areas. Essentially, Nayna has created the first integrated broadband infrastructure, revolutionizing EFM broadband access networks in the process. The company's EFM broadband access systems extend the power and performance of applications and services for the new and rapidly growing numbers of broadband subscribers. Nayna solutions enhance the cost efficiencies for service providers and accelerate performance for subscribers. By delivering copper and fiber based value added propositions to both service providers and end users, while ensuring seamless integration with the existing infrastructure, NAYNA EXPRESS™ solutions make certain that broadband access networks contribute to the service providers success rather than adding to their stress.
