[October 22, 2009] Infonetics Research: Deployment activity picking up in fast-growing policy server market Tweet CAMPBELL, CA, Oct 22, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Infonetics Research (http://twitter.com/infonetics) released the second edition of its biannual Policy Servers market size, share, and forecast report, which tracks fixed line and 3G broadband, WiMAX, and LTE wireless policy server software. ANALYST NOTE "Policy servers remain a key part of operators' strategies for managing bandwidth consumption and pricing resources, and also are increasingly being used to enhance and differentiate applications, reduce churn and increase ARPU. As a result, operators' IT and marketing departments are recognizing the value that policy servers can provide to their service offerings and the overall customer experience, and are playing a more prominent role in policy control decisions and implementations," explains Shira Levine, directing analyst for next gen OSS and policy at Infonetics Research. POLICY SERVER MARKET HIGHLIGHTS -- Worldwide sales of policy server software are forecast to grow to $1.12 billion in 2013 -- While the policy server market experienced a slight slowdown in the first half of 2009 due to adverse economic conditions, RFI and RFP activity has picked up, with sizable deals expected late this year and early next year -- In a tight race for policy server market share leadership, Alcatel- Lucent, Bridgewater, Camiant, Ericsson, Juniper, and Nokia Siemens together own 70%+ of the worldwide market -- As mobile operators increasingly use policy servers to manage 3G data network resources and authorize subscribers accessing streaming video, ringtones, games and other applications, the amount they spend on policy servers will quickly dwarf that of cable operators and fixed line telcos -- WiMAX and LTE deployments will drive significant long-term growth in the wireless policy server segment REPORT SYNOPSIS Infonetics' policy servers report provides worldwide and regional market size, market share, analysis, and forecasts through 2013 for fixed-line and wireless (3G broadband, WiMAX, and LTE) policy server software licenses and manufacturer revenue.
