Analyst firm Dell'Oro Group sees the carrier IP Telephony market breaking out of its current slump in 2010, according to a recent report. While the group said the carrier IP telephony market in 2009 will be down around 14 percent from 2008, Dell'Oro expects the market to rebound to $4 billion by 2013.
Greg Collins, a vice president at Dell'Oro Group, said network modernization projects delayed due to rough economic conditions should resume in earnest in 2010, driving growth in the session border controller and softswitch markets.
"Smaller vendors, such as Acme Packet, MetaSwtich, and BroadSoft, have done fairly through the downturn," Collins said. "The bigger vendors with lots of exposure to the Tier 1 carriers, such as Nokia Siemens Networks, Nortel and Sonus, have suffered a little more as a result."
As part of the report, Dell'Oro also forecast that the IMS equipment market, though currently quite small, will expand rapidly to reach $743 million in revenues by 2013. Collins said preparations for LTE wireless, application delivery and location services will drive the expansion in this market niche.
