A Dell'Oro Group forecast indicates a new three-year spending cycle for cable and fiber ISP equipment, set to peak in 2028. Growth is driven by DOCSIS 4.0 and fiber deployments, but rising costs for customer premises equipment due to component shortages pose a risk to expansion plans.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Deep Tech: Telecom & Connectivity.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
The next multi-year ISP upgrade cycle is defined by cost control, not just performance. If your product doesn't help operators lower their total bill-of-materials, you'll lose the deal to a cheaper alternative or even refurbished equipment.
