3. Optical Encryption Companies - Ciena (US) and ADVA (Germany) are the Key Players

The optical encryption market is expected to grow from USD 2.77 billion in 2018 to USD 4.24 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 8.9% between 2018 and 2023. Opportunities for the growth of the market include increasing adoption of cloud-based services and IoT, and growing implementation of network in developing countries. Some of the key factors driving the growth of this market are emerging requirement of regulatory compliances, growing concern over data security and privacy due to cyberattacks, and increasing internet penetration and data traffic.

Optical Encryption companies include:

• Ciena (US),
• ADVA (Germany),
• Nokia (Finland),
• ECI Telecom (Israel),
• Cisco (US),
• Huawei Technologies (China),
• Microsemi (US),
• Infinera (US),
• Arista Networks (US),
• Acacia Communications (US)

Most of the leading companies have followed the inorganic strategy of contracts to boost their revenues.

Top 2 Players in the Market:

 Ciena (US) is a network specialist focused on providing communication networking solutions to enable a wide range of network operators to adopt next-generation architectures. The company provides equipment, software, and services that support the transport, switching, aggregation, and service delivery and management of voice, video, and data traffic on communication networks. Ciena believes that network services should be easy to deploy and scale for both the service provider and customer. For this, it has come up with WaveLogic Encryption that provides a cost-effective, simple-to-implement bulk-encryption solution protecting all in-flight traffic on the network across the world. Ciena mainly adopted contracts as its inorganic growth strategy to grow in the optical encryption market. It recently won several contracts for optical encryption. For example, in October 2017, Israel Electric Corporation (IEC), the largest supplier of electrical power in Israel entered into a contract with Ciena to transform its network. IEC will utilize Ciena’s 6500 Packet-Optical Platform to power a 100G dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) OTN-switched core network combined with OTN and photonic control planes to significantly improve the capacity and resiliency of the network.

ADVA (Germany) develops next-generation networking technologies, which enable the creation of high-performance cloud and mobile services. The company is engaged in the development, production, and marketing of optical and Ethernet-based networking solutions and operates through a single segment, “Optical Networking Solutions.” Its portfolio also includes timing and synchronization solutions for networks. ADVA has been at the forefront for developing effective and efficient solutions for optical encryption. The innovative ADVA ConnectGuard optical technology made available on the FSP 3000 platform enables data to be transported securely at the highest performance and lowest cost. ADVA adopted contracts as its inorganic growth strategy to grow in the optical encryption market. For example, in April 2017, ADVA’s FSP 3000 CloudConnect DCI solution was deployed by University Corporation for Atmosphere Research (UCAR) (US) for ultra-high capacity connectivity to the Cheyenne supercomputer. Also, in February 2017, ADVA announced that its FSP 3000 platform with ConnectGuard encryption technology has been approved for the transmission of classified data by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).
