| The fixed access market has seen a relatively quiet start to the year, at least in terms of new product and release debuts. However, there has been substantial activity on the vendor consolidation front, with three notable mergers or acquisitions completed by April 20th, and Enablence’s announcement of its pending divestiture of its Systems Division also impacting the fixed access vendor landscape. Each of these events was covered initially in the following intelligence reports: |
- Another One Bites the Dust: Enablence to Exit Fixed Access Systems Market, April 29, 2011 | Client Access |
- Telco Systems Gains ANDA’s Installed Base and Products, and a Nice Exit for ANDA Shareholders, Apr 20, 2011 | Client Access |
- Calix Proves Value of Occam Acquisition with Trifecta of B6 ESAN Deployments, Apr 14, 2011 | Client Access |

| Another topic of discussion is the evolving fiber access sector.

What follows is a conversation between Yoav Schreiber (Senior Analyst, Digital Media Infrastructure) and Erik Keith (Principal Analyst, Fixed Access Infrastructure) exploring these themes. |
