SIP-based IP PBX Markets to Grow in Chile: Report
By Amy Tierney, TMCnet Web Editor
There’s some good news for SIP-based IP PBX (News - Alert) markets in Chile. According to a new report, the market is expected to grow significantly there as more people move to buy IP-based servers for communications.
The SIP PBX / IP PBX markets are projected to grow from $64.5 million in 2007 to $228 million by 2014, according to the “Chile- SIP Enabled Servers and IP PBX Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, 2008 to 2014” report.
SIP server and IP-PBX shipments represent the next generation of enterprise voice systems and will replace traditional PBX systems, the report by WinterGreen Research, Inc., found. What’s more, IP-PBX shipments are related to traditional PBX shipments because they leverage the existing installed base.
The growing demand for IP-based servers will be converted to sales as new systems come to market that allow the implementation of voice over IP, or VoIP. Many companies have postponed buying VoIP systems for ten years or more, waiting for technology that works, the report said.
In Chile, U.S. equipment is highly regarded for its reliability and quality. The U.S. is Chile’s largest telecommunications equipment supplier, and represents about 30 percent of total imports.
For example, Cisco is a crucial supplier of telco’s net infrastructure in the Chilean market. Meanwhile, Lucent sells equipment for corporate networks in Chile, while 3Com (News - Alert) and Avaya have a presence in SIP-enabled servers and IP PBX systems in the country.
The projected rise in shipment data can be traced to popularity of IP-PBX architecture, which lets businesses reduce infrastructure cost while improving productivity.
