Campbell, CALIFORNIA, August 24, 2009—Communications market research firm Infonetics Research recently released its second quarter (2Q09) Service Provider VoIP Equipment and Subscribers market share and forecast report, which tracks trunk media gateways, media servers, session border controllers, softswitches, voice application servers, and VoIP subscribers.
ANALYST NOTE
“The product and competitive landscape of the service provider VoIP equipment market is reshaping in 2009, as stronger vendors weather the storm and, in some segments, even thrive. While the overall market is still down from a year ago, it stabilized in the second quarter, with flat quarter-over-quarter revenue. The healthiest segments were voice application servers, high and low density media gateways, and Class 5 softswitches. EMEA and North America had strong growth,” explains Diane Myers, directing analyst, service provider VoIP and IMS for Infonetics Research.
SERVICE PROVIDER VOIP EQUIPMENT MARKET HIGHLIGHTS
- Worldwide service provider voice over IP equipment revenue totaled $598 million in 2Q09, up 0.8% sequentially and down 32% over 2Q08
- EMEA was the trunk media gateway sweet spot for the quarter, posting 41% sequential gains in 2Q09, with increases across all sub-categories
- North American service providers and conferencing service providers continue to drive media server growth, one of the few segments that continues to experience year-over-year revenue growth
- The voice application server segment was the real gem in 2Q09, with a 31% sequential increase in worldwide revenue
