Why ElectroniCast Consultants Leads

MATURITY

A base of over a quarter century of forecasting technology application and market trends of leading-edge photonic and electronic
products. No other consultancy compares to ElectroniCast Consultants in the number of current, in-depth fiber optic component
market research forecast reports.

Photonic Integrated Circuit Transceivers (PICs)
Optoelectronic Integrated Circuits (OEICs)
Massively Parallel Optical Interconnect (Masspar)
Optical Crossconnect (OXC) Matrix Switches
Optical Add/Drop Multiplexers (OADMs)
Optical Backplanes (OBPs) and Motherboards

BOTTOM-UP ANALYSIS

The forecasted product is divided into its subsets (and sub-subsets). The significant applications are identified. For each product
subset, in each application, the base year consumed quantity and its average per-unit price is estimated, based on in-depth
interviews of both customers and suppliers. This is repeated for each succeeding year of the forecasts. Quantity is multiplied to
obtain the value forecasts, at these lowest levels. The quantity and value forecasts are then summed to obtain the total forecast.
All of this bottom-up quantity, price and value data is provided in spreadsheets with each market research report.

EXTRAORDINARY DATA BASES

The bottom-up forecast numbers are managed within extremely detailed spreadsheets which support accurate forecasting of
over 20 fiber optic component categories plus end applications (equipment) and subsidiary piece parts. These forecast
spreadsheets, in printout format, on CD, are provided to each client.

The consumption quantities of various components are related to each other, as well as to the quantities of consuming
equipment and the quantities of supporting parts. This permits cross-referencing of forecasts, to improve accuracy.

CONSULTANT RELATIONSHIP

Clients have access to forecast report authors and support staff for extended exploration and clarification. ElectroniCast
maintains a continuing consulting relationship with its clients, providing additional information as needed.

INDEPENDENCE

ElectroniCast is owned by its founder and staff, free from influence by outside ownership. Excellence in forecasting and client
service are the guiding principles.

CONFERENCE SPONSORSHIP

ElectroniCast organizes and sponsors fiber optic component industry conferences, facilitating interaction among client and
ElectroniCast staff with industry leaders in all areas.
