CAMPBELL, California, April 19, 2007—Sales of service provider and enterprise telecom and datacom equipment topped $123 billion worldwide in 2006, up 9% from 2005, and is forecast to grow 20% to $148 billion in 2010, says a new report from Infonetics Research.
According to the report, Service Provider and Enterprise Telecom and Datacom Equipment, the 5-year compound annual growth rates for all segments tracked in the report range from flat to strong double digits from 2006 to 2010, with the IPTV and service provider VoIP and IMS equipment markets showing the most growth.
“The spending increase in the overall telecom and datacom equipment market is being fueled by service providers upgrading from TDM to IP packet networks to support voice, video, and data, as well as enterprises transforming their networks to integrate data, multimedia, and security,” said Infonetics Research analyst Jeff Wilson.
Report Highlights
