F orecasts IP Telephony Carrier Market Revenues to Reach $4.7 Billion in FF 2010

Dell’Oro: IMS Opens Way to Multimedia Services. IP Telephony Carrier market revenues are forecasted to grow from $ 1.6 billion in 2004 to $4.7 billion in

2010. Sales of Class 5 subscriber access solutions now complement the sales of Class 4 trunk networks that drove the early years of Next Generation Network Equipment (NGN) sales. Sales of both Class 4 and Class 5 solutions are forecast to climb as the upgrade of the circuit-switched PSTN to the IP-based NGN accelerates over the next several years.

Service Providers’ transition to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is part of their broader network transformation to all-IP networks that deliver expanded services via broadband connections. Today’s residential and business VoIP services will expand to include fixed-mobile-convergence, multimedia services and gaming as service providers adopt the emerging IP Multimedia System (IMS) architecture.
