What is the revenue recognition timeline for the Tier 1 opportunities in the IP optical portfolio in North America 
 Officer
Yes.
Paul Silverstein -- Cowen and Company -- Analyst
I appreciate that. Beyond Huawei, what are you -- if you had to tier what you're most excited about in terms of driving revenue growth specifically, what would be No. 1 and No. 2 and No.
3?
Bruce McClelland -- Chief Executive Officer
Well, the Top 2, our Huawei opportunities. Well, Top 3, Huawei opportunities. The second is the recovery in the Indian market. And then the third is success in North America that we've talked about and the growth that we're targeting here in the North American market.
Those three things, all focused on the IP optical portfolio are the areas that we believe will drive growth as the year progresses here this year?
Paul Silverstein -- Cowen and Company -- Analyst
All right. I've already asked you about two of the three of those. I just have one question on the -- well, actually a broader question just in North America. And I think I already say you've got a number of opportunities for service providers around the world, Russia, the U.S., etc.
Again, trying to get some granular insight, can you characterize -- is that also in the range of 6% to 12%? Is that more than a dozen? Is it less than half a dozen, any rough quantification you can do?
Bruce McClelland -- Chief Executive Officer
Well, let me come at it a different way. I think the second quarter is going to be fairly significantly stronger in North America for us on IP optical. So we have a number of projects that are in flight already today that we'll recognize revenue on in the second quarter. So I think we'll see some meaningful improvement there.
And as I referred to these Tier 1 opportunities, these are -- again, they're a very focused set of, call them, half a dozen opportunities that are meaningful to the company that we're focused on and believe we have a very good shot at winning some share in them. And hopefully, we'll have more specific detail to share on the next call.
Paul Silverstein -- Cowen and Company -- Analyst
I agree. I appreciate it. Thank you.
Bruce McClelland -- Chief Executive Officer
Yeah. Thank you, Paul.
