The Carrier IP Telephony market continues to be highly dynamic, as service providers transition their legacy voice networks to VoIP to provide new services, many of which are based on IMS equipment.

To take advantage of the opportunities in this market, component manufacturers, equipment vendors, service providers, and financial institutions need to answer critical business questions including:

  • How are high-growth services like SIP Trunking affecting the equipment market?
  • How will IMS affect the market for fixed and mobile core equipment?
  • How is vendor consolidation impacting the market?
  • How fast is the market for wireless voice core equipment transitioning away from circuit-based MSCs to media gateways and softswitches?

To answer these and other important questions, Dell’Oro Group delivers both quarterly reports and 5-year forecasts on the Carrier IP Telephony market.
