A new research report from Infonetics tells us something that many of us have felt coming for some time.
According to the report Service Provider VoIP and IMS Equipment and Subscribers carriers are not likely to engage in VoIP equipment purchases at this time, which Infonetics expects will bring down the worldwide service provider VoIP market 8% sequentially to $816 million in 3Q08.
All is not doom and gloom however.
Infonetics is reporting that in the third quarter of 2008, sales of session border controllers and media servers were up.
Other highlights from the report:
· Cisco enjpoyed a 37% sequential jump in worldwide trunk media gateway revenue, propelling them to the #1 spot, followed by GENBAND and Huawei;
· Nortel maintains its #1 position in the worldwide softswitch market
· Voice over broadband (VoBB) will continue to be the big driver across the board
