Infonetics Research, market research company, introduced its third quarter Service Provider VoIP Equipment and Subscribers, and IMS Equipment and Subscribers market share and forecast reports, finding that "the number-one story that will come out of 2010 for the IMS and carrier VoIP equipment markets is China.”
And looking at the long-term prospects, the network elements that are best poised for solid growth are “those that facilitate the migration to all-IP networks, such as session border controllers," noted Diane Myers, directing analyst for VoIP and IMS at Infonetics Research.
Infonetics officials stated that in China conditions are driving volumes up and pushing prices down: “There are large network transformation projects underway in China, so demand for equipment is strong, but at the same time, vendors are willing to push the pricing limits to get into strategic accounts.”
In the third quarter of 2010, every product category besides media servers was impacted by pricing pressures, the report finds. “So while shipments were up for most segments, total worldwide revenue took a hit.”
