Infonetics Research Predicts 50 Percent Growth for IMS Equipment and Subscribers Market


In its third quarter 2011 (3Q11) IMS Equipment and Subscribers market share report, Infonetics Research has predicted that IMS equipment market will witness a 50 percent growth in 2011.

Down 18 percent sequentially in 3Q11, but up 46 percent year-over-year (from 3Q10), the global IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) equipment market continues on its extremely variable growth path. Followed by Ericsson (News - Alert) and Huawei, Nokia Siemens Networks pulled ahead in the fast-growing IMS session control function (CSCF) server market in 3Q11, the company stated in a press release.




“The IMS equipment market is on track to gain over 50 percent in global revenue in 2011 over 2010 as large service providers like China Telecom (News - Alert), China Unicom, and Deutsche Telekom undergo significant Class 5 replacement projects; AT&T and NTT ramp their Class 5 replacements; cable operators such as Comcast get ready to launch their new networks; and wireless operators (Verizon Wireless, MetroPCS, etc.) launch IMS for LTE (News - Alert)," expects Diane Myers, directing analyst for VoIP and IMS at Infonetics Research.

Due to ongoing fixed-line projects in Europe and Asia Pacific, 66 percent of global IMS core equipment revenue was from equipment purchased for fixed-line networks in 3Q11. Due to continued strength coming from Verizon Wireless (News - Alert) for their LTE deployment, in North America only 55 percent of IMS core revenue was for fixed-line networks. As they are being implemented as the core device registering element within LTE networks, which is having a positive impact on HSS regardless of voice over LTE (VoLTE) deployments, home subscriber servers (HSS) continue to benefit from LTE deployments, the report stated.

Recently, the company published its biannual Pay TV Services and Subscribers report provides worldwide and regional market forecasts and analysis for telco IPTV (News - Alert), analog and digital cable video and satellite video services. Excerpts released from this report reveal that the global pay TV market is gathering momentum. The company forecasts tremendous growth for the global pay TV market, which is predicted to touch $353 billion by 2015.
