Got this release over the weekend with some interesting VoIP industry statistics I thought I'd share.
Carrier VoIP Equipment Market Up 69% Year-over-Year in 3Q04
BOSTON, Massachusetts, November 22, 2004--Worldwide next gen voice product revenue totaled $452 million in 3Q04, up 13% from 2Q04 and up 69% year-over-year, according to Infonetics Research’s quarterly market share and forecast service, Next Gen Voice Products. Annual revenue is projected to grow from $1.3 billion in 2003 to $4.8 billion in 2007, representing a strong CAGR of 39%.
"Most equipment categories saw sequential growth this quarter," said Infonetics Research's Kevin Mitchell, directing analyst and co-author of the report. "Voice application servers, session border controllers, and softswitches, especially Class 5 licenses and revenue, grew the most. This indicates that service providers are really beginning to change gears, from investing in infrastructure to investing in next gen equipment that will allow them to offer new services."
