The corrected release reads: ACCORDING TO DELL'ORO GROUP, PBX MARKET REVENUES FALL 8 PERCENT IN THE FIRST QUARTER 2005; PURE IP PBX SEGMENT CONTINUES RAPID ASCENT, UP 18 PERCENT According to a newly published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for information about the networking and telecommunications industries, total PBX market revenues fell 8 percent during the first quarter of 2005. This was the first significant setback suffered by this market, as line shipments retreated to levels last seen two years ago. The pure IP PBX segment, however, grew 18 percent during the quarter, demonstrating the continued migration of business spending toward Voice over IP (VoIP) equipment. In contrast, spending on traditional PBX and traditional key systems declined 14 percent during the same period. "Recently, businesses have slowed their investment in traditional systems. While some are actively adopting IP, others have delayed purchases as they evaluate whether to pursue a hybrid or a pure IP solution," commented Steve Raab, Director of IP Telephony research at Dell'Oro Group. "Hybrid IP TDM solutions are popular options as they allow businesses to preserve a significant portion of their current voice network while also deploying VoIP." -0- *T 1Q05 Worldwide Market Leaders in Total PBX Revenues (IP PBX + Hybrid PBX + Traditional PBX + Traditional Key) Total Market 1Q05 ------------ ---- Manufacturers' Revenue ($ B) $1.47 Vendor Rank ------ ---- Avaya 1 Siemens 2 Nortel 3 Alcatel 4 NEC 5 *T About the Report The Dell'Oro Group IP Telephony Enterprise Quarterly Report offers complete, in-depth coverage of the market with tables covering manufacturers' revenue, average selling prices, line (analog/digital and IP), and unit shipments for IP PBX-large and small, Hybrid IP/TDM PBX-network-based, chassis-based, and small, traditional PBX, traditional key systems, and IP telephones.
