Alcatel remains #1 in Optics

Ovum-RHK has unveiled its optical networking market latest estimates. Alcatel remains the market leader with a 15% market share over past 12 months, but with only 13.5% during 2Q06. The story is apparently different from last week info from Infonetics saying Alcatel lost its pole position to Huawei. In fact both said about the same story, but from a different angle. In 2Q06, Huawei overperformed Alcatel, but over a rolling 12-month basis, Alcatel is keeping its crown.
