Executive Summary

- Enterprise media gateways will continue to represent a mainstay component of enterprise unified communications (UC) deployments for the foreseeable future. Gateways can help bridge disparate platforms and interfaces, overcoming some of the challenges caused by limited interoperability in a multi-vendor UC environment.

- The ongoing transition to voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) access and session initiation (SIP) trunking will also drive demand for media gateways over the forecast period. These services can offer significant cost savings to enterprises with both time division multiplexing (TDM) and IP telephony systems, and media gateways can provide the conduit between SIP and legacy communications protocols.

- After a particularly soft 2009, the media gateway market recovered in 2010. In 2011, media gateway vendors saw continued demand and growth in port shipments; however, price cuts took a toll on revenue.

- Market consolidation, notably the Nortel and VegaStream acquisitions, shifted market share within the enterprise media gateway market.
