REDWOOD CITY, Calif., March 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, announced today that Carrier IP Telephony (CIPT) market revenues grew 8% in 2014 compared to 2013. Sales of IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Core, Session Border Controller (SBC) and Voice Application Server (VAS) systems grew 41 percent, more than offsetting declines in mature Softswitch (SS) and Media Gateway (MG) segments.
"From 2011 to 2014, we saw growing investments in Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) infrastructure in North America. We expect that in 2015, after starting spending in 2014, European and Chinese operators will represent growing portions of VoLTE-related spending," said Chris DePuy, Vice President of Carrier IP Telephony research at Dell'Oro Group. "Interestingly, smaller companies have entered the market, using new technologies such as Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and have won significant contracts. This has led to some vendor consolidation in 2015, as vendors traditionally outside the CIPT market have decided to participate in the Service Provider Core market."
The overall Carrier IP Telephony market, which includes devices used to serve both circuit switched subscribers, Voice over IP (VoIP) and Voice over LTE subscribers, approached $7 billion in 2014.
