Softswitch Annual Sales to Reach US$2.8 Billion by 2010 for
Public Networks
Washington DC. July 25,
2001
A new report just released
from Dittberner Associates, one of the
leading consulting firms in the world
specializing in telecommunications, has
concluded there is reason for long term
optimism in the area of Voice over Packet
switching equipment sales.
While worldwide annual sales
of softswitches during 2001 will only
amount to US$487. million, the Dittberner
report forecasts that by 2010 the sales
will reach US$2.8 Billion. Additionally,
the Dittberner forecast expects a cumulative
total of 12,080 SoftSwitch systems to
have been shipped by the year 2010 worldwide
On a similar note, the Dittberner
Forecast for Cumulative Gateway System
Sales Worldwide will be a total value
of US$8.2 Billion.
Which market segments will
be generating these sales? The Dittberner
report divides the market into the various
major carrier classes: Incumbent, Cable,
Competitive Carriers, and Wireless. Both
wireless and cable operators will take
up slightly more than 10% each of this
forecast, with the remainder divided between
the incumbent and competitive carriers.
While most traditional telecommunication
companies recognize that VoIP is the wave
of the near future, this by no means suggests
that they will start introduction of VoIP
services soon. The PSTN will be around
for at least another decade, if not more.
Although carriers will continue to make
very limited investments in circuit switched
voice to ensure QoS standards, the majority
of the new capital investments will go
into next generation VoP networks of various
types.
The Dittberner report includes
over 15 detailed market forecasts of gateway
and SoftSwitch sales. These forecasts
are for each year for the next 10 years,
by # of systems, by dollar value, and
the cumulative # of systems for the US,
the rest of the world and the total world
market. Additionally, these forecasts
are divided into the class of carrier
which will be purchasing the equipment
as referred to earlier.
