Bit
error rate testers are usually designed for testing radio telemetry
systems, synchronous serial communication equipment, and
communication links. The high rate of penetration of broadband
communication and sharp rise in demand of the access lines are
driving the need of communication links with high transmission
capacity and very low bit error rate. When some data is transmitted
over a particular communication channel, there is a probability of
errors being arrived into the system. BER tester identifies the error
frequency and bit error rate (BER) over a communication channel for
evaluating its overall performance, thereby improving the
communication link quality and enabling network system to incorporate
complete link characteristics.
The
global BER
testers market is mainly driven by various technological
advancements taking place in the telecommunication sectors including
Ethernet over SONET (EoS), and Synchronous Optical Networking
(SONET), among others. Rise in deployment of 3G and 4G networks are
expected to garner more demand for BER testers. In order to detect
and remove glitches in digital networks due to complex network
design, BER testers are anticipated to drive the market demand
throughout the forecast period. Moreover, the introduction of high
modular and multi-functional bit error rate testers is predicted to
further propel the market demand in the coming years. This is further
supported by growing demand of digital interfaces coupled with
technological innovations. Besides, the market demand is accelerated
by growing video traffic over the internet because of video
conferencing, high definition IPTV, online video streaming portals
such as You Tube etc., and migration of enterprises from private
networks towards the internet based virtual private networks (VPNs).
Furthermore,
growing use of bit error testers for various manufacturing
processes and R&D activities is expected to contribute towards a
substantial market growth over the forecast period. However, the
growth of global BER testers market is restricted by low market
awareness in emerging nations, and incompatibility of BER testers to
cater into various end-user applications, among others. The low
market awareness is generally due to complexity of technology which
can be eradicated/minimized by vendors. Initiatives such as education
to end users about the market and technical know-how can enable
awareness about BER testers. Modularity, ease of use, price and
features are currently the most competitive features in the global
BER testers market.
The
global BER testers market can be segmented on the basis of product
types, various end-users, applications and different geographical
regions. On the basis of various product types, the market can be
segmented into traditional BERTs and functional BERTs. Based on
different end-users, the market is classified into service providers,
enterprises, component and system manufacturers, and others which
includes government contractors and contract manufacturing companies.
Based on various end-use applications, BER testers market can be
categorized into installation and maintenance, research and
development, and manufacturing. Base on various geographical regions,
the market is categorized into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific,
Middle East and Africa, and Latin America. In Asia Pacific, the huge
amount of data transmission over the communication network is
presently contributing towards the appreciation of market growth.
Some
of the key participants in the global BER testers market includes
Centellax Inc., Tektronix Inc., Anritsu Corporation, Luceo
Technologies GMBH, Keysight Technologies, Inc.,Aeroflux Incorporated,
LSHF Communication Technologies AG, Digital Lightwave Inc., EXFO
Inc., and JDS Uniphase Corporation, among others.
