Buoyant IP Growth
By Mark Evans | August 20, 2007
According to a Dell’Oro Group report, shipments of IP lines in the second-quarter climbed 30% due to strong demand from small businesses, which is good news for suppliers such as Nortel, Avaya and Cisco that have been targeting the small business market with VoIP services.
“Vendors continue to broaden their VoIP offerings to small and medium businesses,†commented Alan Weckel, a senior analyst with Dell’Oro. “Vendors, such as Avaya, Cisco, and Nortel, continue to expand their development and sales efforts in order to better target smaller businesses with VoIP solutions. With recent product introductions and a renewed focus throughout the industry to sell VoIP solutions to small businesses, the migration to IP will continue to accelerate.”
Dell’Oro said Nortel continues to be the IP line shipment leader globally, while Cisco has surpassed Avaya in terms of line shipments in North America.
