Carrier VoIP equipment revenue: 2007
12/10/07
After dropping
6% in Q1 2007, the service provider next-gen voice equipment market
rose 8% in Q2 to reach over £450m, says Infonetics Research in its
"Service Provider VoIP and IMS Equipment and Subscribers" report.
All categories of next gen voice equipment except soft switches are
up in Q2, the report shows, with the strongest gains posted by the
voice application server, media gateway, and session border
controller segments.
"The second quarter was marked by robust media gateway, voice
application server, and SBC deployments, as well as some softness in
soft switch deployments. There was also continued softness in the
Asia Pacific media server market, which led to a somewhat
disappointing quarter for some players, but it was a strong quarter
overall, and the 5-year outlook looks good as demand for VoIP
networking gears remains unabated," said Infonetics Research
principal analyst Stéphane Téral.
Other report highlights:
