Service Provider Softswitch: Market Opportunities, Forecasts, And Shares (2002-2007)
WinterGreen Research, Inc., Pages: 300
Telecommunications continues to account for most of the service provider revenue. The convergence of voice and data brings new opportunity to telecommunications service provider markets. New opportunity relates to compiling softswitch feature sets on computer industry hardware. The new IBM Blade computer hardware product represents the type of open systems hardware that will replace proprietary circuit switch hardware in service provider central offices. Softswitches will provide expanded feature sets that support offering new value added services.
Telecommunications markets have stalled as the dual effects of over capacity and a fundamental shift in network architecture create market uncertainty. The enormous capacity provided by Dwdm systems increased existing transmission capacity by factors of 40 to 80, for very little incremental cost. Optical systems promise to continue to create enormous capacity at vastly lower system cost.
Communications infrastructure needs new capabilities provided by softswitches. Granular call control is needed to achieve development of value added services that will create new market thrust. Communications remains the single most significant aspect of economic growth and change. Economies of scale are dependent on efficient communications systems.
