Growth in VoIP Gear
I spotted an interesting artcilce on Computer world today - Dell'Oro sees measured growth in VOIP gear
Carriers' large-scale transition to VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol) may not begin in earnest until 2010, though spending on gear for the new calling technology will roughly double over the next five years, according to research company Dell'Oro Group.
Network equipment providers sold about US$2.4 billion worth of dedicated VOIP infrastructure products in 2005, a number that will grow to US$4.7 billion by 2010, according to Steve Raab, an analyst at Dell'Oro. Dell'Oro counted softswitches (servers that switch packet-based calls), media gateways (devices that translate between packet and circuit-switched networks) and products that combine those elements, Raab said. It did not include VOIP elements built into other products such as multiservice switches.
