Network Gateways, Multi-Access Systems, and the SS7- to-IP Migration 2008-2013
a market research report
|
|
Network interoperability and SIP-based applications development are driving the market demands for gateways, multi-service and cross-services access systems and platforms in order to meet the needs for mixed protocol interoperability. Gateways are required so that service provider can extend the reach of their applications across multi-protocol networks including SS7, IP, cable 2.0, and wireless as well as protocols such as SIP, and standards for IMS. In addition, gateways make it easier to expand the set of applications in the various incompatible networks and for a way to interconnect networks of different types.
This study is INSIGHT’s fourth in a continuing series that addresses the business potential and market trends for gateways. The study examines seven types of gateways, as well as session border controllers and media servers, all of which are driven by similar market demand. The study forecasts unit demand and revenue by geographic region for SIP gateways, enterprise gateways, enhanced services gateways, wireless gateways, wholesale gateways, hybrid fiber cross service gateways, and signaling gateways. Worldwide unit shipments and revenues for session border controllers and media servers are also provided by geographic region.

Report Excerpt
|
|
The principal catalyst of change in
telecommunications industry is IP (Internet protocol) technology, which
will one day enable network convergence, bringing together previously
parallel networks (cellular, fixed, cable, enterprise) onto a single
IP-based infrastructure. That single IP network infrastructure will
facilitate service convergence, making it possible to offer integrated
service to consumers and businesses. When network convergence links with
service convergence, carriers will be providing “anytime, anywhere, any way”
service delivery to any type of end-point device—putting business and
personal communications on an entirely new footing.
The impact of IP
convergence in all its manifestations presents major challenges and demands
renewed attention to network strategies—and our thesis is that the gateways,
which facilitate interconnections between old and new networks and service
domains, will be a lynchpin network element for years to come.
The hard facts are that
service providers (SPs) today are increasingly constrained when it comes to
delivering against the convergence vision. For traditional landline telecom
providers, there is tremendous pressure to sustain current revenue streams
even as traditional fixed-line voice is being “squeezed” by the substitution
of broadband voice and mobile calling. Traditional carriers are seeing
increased operating expenses cutting into margins revenue growth. With
network and network development costs typically accounting for more than 35
percent of fixed-line operating costs, telecom service providers are under
pressure to reduce their network-related expenses to sustain margins.
Among the mobile operators, while some
developing markets still have opportunities to grow voice minutes of use (MoU)
and revenues, the double digit revenue growth and healthy profit margins
once enjoyed in the developed economies have been lost to market
saturation. In the developing economies, intense competition and low-annual
revenue per user (ARPU) are the norm.
The service providers thus face a dilemma. They must
reduce IT (Internet technology) and infrastructure complexity to reduce
