[asterisk-biz] Dell'Oro Group's latest report

[Jason Becker]

"Dell'Oro Group's latest report, forecasting a three-fold increase in IP 
PBX sales to a projected $2 billion by 2010. Combined IP-PBX and Hybrid 
IP/TDM PBX sales are projected to gain share over traditional PBX 
offerings due to the widespread adoption of IP centric platforms by 
businesses, and the growing usage of VoIP services.

"The conversion to VoIP is the dominant factor in the enterprise voice 
market over the next several years," said Steve Raab, Director of IP 
Telephony Research for Dell'Oro Group. "Modernizing the installed base 
of traditional PBX technology to IP telephony requires coordinated 
investment in data networking and enterprise voice equipment. During 
this technology transition, Hybrid IP/TDM PBXs that embody newer IP and 
legacy TDM technology will represent a majority of sales," added Raab.

The report also projected that sales of IP telephones would exceed $4 
billion by 2010 due to the same movement toward conversion to IP 
telephony across the business and residential markets."
