Enterprise VoIP Drives Wireline NGN Voice Revenue Growth in 2Q11

In its recently released report, Exact Ventures found the wireline voice core market grew 7 percent sequentially in the second quarter of this year driven partly by the continued strength of enterprise VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services, just as SIP trunking and hosted unified communications.  The enterprise session border controller and voice application server markets each grew more than 40 percent compared to the second quarter of last year.

"Enterprise VoIP is obviously a key factor in the resurgence of the wireline NGN market," noted Greg Collins, Founder and Principal Analyst at innovation firm Exact Ventures.  "The older, more traditional wireline NGN segments of softswitches and media gateways, but, are beginning to show stability as growth in wireline VoIP services will as well need to interface with legacy TDM services," Collins added.

"During wireline deployments currently dominate IMS Core sales, as voice-over-LTE (Long Term Evolution, latest standard in the mobile network technology) services are introduced in the coming months and gain subscribers, the market will shift to become dominated by wireless deployments, which will drive the IMS market for then over a decade as the billions of wireless subscribers are by degree migrated to VoIP," stated Collins.
