REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, announced today that it has launched coverage on the Wireless Packet Core market. This new report tracks GGSN, SGSN and PDSN equipment used in mobile networks to transmit data traffic.
"We've been watching the Wireless Packet Core market develop over the last two years, and are pleased to officially begin quarterly reporting on this market," said Tam Dell'Oro, Founder of Dell'Oro Group. "Wireless Packet Core is the third mobile infrastructure program that we've launched in the past two months and further illustrates our commitment to mobile infrastructure market research that began with our reporting on RAN and MSC segments in 2001," added Dell'Oro.
According to the report, market revenues grew almost 30 percent in 2009, with growth coming from all three market segments. GGSN and PDSN sessions led the market's shipment growth with each increasing approximately 60 percent during 2009.
"While bandwidth capacity is often cited as the most critical wireless packet core issue, signaling capacity is also vital and will become more so with the increased penetration of smartphones," said Greg Collins, Vice President at Dell'Oro Group.
