Infonetics Research: Enterprise session border controller market up 53% in 2009

"The enterprise session border controller market grew more than 50% in 2009 over 2008, in stark contrast to the 22% decline in the PBX market. The enterprise SBC segment bucked the negative spending environment due to three trends: adoption of SIP trunking services, which are growing at a fast clip; trunking centralization projects undertaken by large companies; and the need to interconnect incompatible VoIP gear, a side effect of strong M&A activity. SBCs are the next generation of border elements, and as such will see strong growth over the coming years," predicts Matthias Machowinski, directing analyst for enterprise voice and data at Infonetics Research.
