Cisco, Juniper, ALU, Huawei Named Top Router/Switch Vendors by Carriers in Latest Infonetics SurveyCAMPBELL, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its recently published Router and Switch Vendor Leadership: Global Service Provider Survey, which explores service providers' perceptions of edge router and carrier Ethernet switch (CES (News - Alert)) manufacturers and their criteria for choosing vendors. ANALYST NOTE "The top four vendors in global edge router and carrier Ethernet switch market share-Cisco (News - Alert), Juniper, Alcatel-Lucent, and Huawei-are likewise viewed as the leading manufacturers of edge routers and CES by service providers participating in Infonetics' (News - Alert) just-published router/switch survey," notes Michael Howard, Infonetics Research's co-founder and principal analyst for carrier networks. "There's a big gap between these four and their competitors, and it just gets harder for any manufacturer who's not already on top of the heap." CARRIER ROUTER AND SWITCH SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS
ABOUT THE SURVEY For its latest router/switch vendor leadership survey, Infonetics interviewed network equipment purchase-decision makers at 20 incumbent, independent wireless, competitive, and cable operators from EMEA, Asia Pacific, and North America.
