Revenue for Cable Distributed Access Equipment (Virtual CCAP, Remote PHY Devices, Remote MACPHY Devices, and Remote OLTs) is expected to reach $1.6 billion by 2027, as operators ramp their DOCSIS 4.0 and fiber deployments.
Revenue for Fixed Wireless CPE is expected to reach $2.7 billion by 2027, led by shipments of 5G sub-6GHz and 5G Millimeter Wave units.
Revenue for Residential Wi-Fi Routers will surpass $5.2 billion in 2027, owing to massive shipments of Wi-Fi 7 units.
