Dell'Oro Group’s Optical Transport research Sr. Director, Jimmy Yu, stated that the 40 Gbps DWDM is expected to continue its growth despite the 100 Gbps DWDM’s availability and show a 55 % CAGR in the next five years due to the 100 Gbps’ price premium . The expected increase in the shipment of the 100 Gbps DWDM will not ensue until the latter part of 2012
