Research and Markets has announced the addition of the Supply Chain Opportunities In the Worldwide High Speed Electronics and Optoelectronics Systems report to their offerings.

High-speed electronics means different things in different market segments. In wide area, metro and data networks, high speed refers to data transfer rates at 10Gbps or higher. In the mobile infrastructure markets, the fourth generation of technology known as 4G encompasses protocols such as LTE and WiMax which support data rates above 100Mbps. While in the automotive segment, a new "high-speed" communications protocol, FlexRay, operates at a mere 10Mbps.

The purpose of this report is to take a look at the key systems in the fixed, wireless and mobile sectors e.g. servers, switches, routers, base stations and telecom infrastructure equipment, and consider the impact of the evolution of these system architectures on PCB design and fabrication, inspection, low-loss laminates, connectors, board assembly, board test and IC packaging. This is followed through in an analysis that identifies the prospective challenges and emerging opportunities for all levels of the supply chain. The report contains technology roadmaps and also forecasts market demand for the key systems, high-speed PCBs and low-loss laminates
