Research and Markets: Global IMS Equipment Market 2010-2014 Report Discusses Key Challenges in This Market Including the Increasing Complexity of Maintaining Centralized Databases

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6849f4/global_ims_equipme) has announced the addition of the "Global IMS Equipment Market 2010-2014" report to their offering.

TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global IMS Equipment market to grow at a CAGR of 28 percent over the period 2010-2014. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the growing popularity of long term evolution (LTE (News - Alert)) services across the globe. The Global IMS Equipment market has also been witnessing improving service silos with increasing customer base. However, increasing complexity of maintaining centralized databases could pose a challenge to the grwth of this market.

Key vendors dominating this market space include Ericsson Inc., ZTE Corp., Nokia Siemens Networks (News - Alert), Alcatel-Lucent and Huawei Technologies.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio's Telecom team said, In comparison to all other communications technologies, Voice over IP (VoIP) and internet have continued to adapt, develop, and grow in terms of network architecture, to enable data transfer across network layers. These applications can also support data and devices within which they are incorporated. Presently, IP is the only technology that can provide and unify many networks and applications. As part of this technological evolution, VoIP has also been developed to provide quality and reliability to rival that of the public switched telephone network (PSTN) while providing the significant cost savings of deploying a mass-market technology.

According to the report, service providers of both wireline and wireless telephony have engaged in long-term Class 5 replacements, which involve the deployment of IMS equipment. As major service providers are increasingly deploying IMS equipment, a consequent increase in revenue generation is being witnessed in the Global IMS Equipment market. These Class 5 replacements are mainly being undertaken in developing countries such as China and India, as well as in Japan, thus justifying the dominant market position of the APAC region.
