Global IP lines shipments up 30% in Q2 – study (USA)

The shipments of IP lines grew 30 percent in Q2 2007 as compared to the same period a year ago, according to a report from Dell’Oro Group. The increase was due to the demand from small businesses to gain the features of mobility and application integration and have selected an IP line for every four voice lines deployed during the quarter. Vendors such as Avaya, Cisco, and Nortel, will expand their development and sales to target smaller businesses with VoIP services. With recent product introductions and a renewed focus throughout the industry to sell VoIP services to small businesses, the migration to IP will continue to accelerate. The report also reveals that Cisco surpassed Avaya in line shipments in North America, despite Avaya having one of its strongest quarters in Europe. Globally, Avaya remained number two behind Nortel in worldwide line shipments.
