Case Studies

The development of All IP infrastructures driven by 4G wireless technologies serves to reduce infrastructure costs and facilitates the integration of voice, video and data services. The development of innovative applications integrating voice, video and data will create demands for new services such as mobile entertainment, real-time video, VoIP/VoLTE, personal conferencing and other rich communication services. Moving to an All IP infrastructure represents an opportunity for operators and service providers to greatly reduce their cost of providing service, while introducing new and differentiating services to users.

ACG provides worldwide and regional market size, market share, and analysis of fixed-line and mobile equipment for service provider All IP infrastructure vendors, covering HSS, VoIP, Diameter, Session Border Controllers and IMS. Some of the All IP vendors that ACG tracks are Acme Packet, Alcatel-Lucent, BroadSoft, Cisco, Ericsson, GENBAND, Huawei, Juniper, MetaSwitch, Nokia Siemens Networks, Sonus Networks, Tekelec and others as well as their respective subscriber markets.

What Are Some of the Challenges and Trends Facing Operators?
By 2015 there will be approximately 3.5 billion mobile broadband subscriptions, the majority of which will be smartphone-based, with 4G deployments hitting a peak by 2015 in most regions. The VoIP service market is expected to reach $74.5 billion by year 2015. Enterprises and users both are moving beyond voice to personal video calling and other multimedia services; consumers are looking for extended functionality, which is driving operations to ever higher capacity and data rates. The mobile operators are seeing exponential traffic growth from cellular devices, WiFi, and cloud-based services. This in turn is driving providers to upgrade their networks to accommodate for 3G, 4G and LTE, 100GB core networks, which will grow to 400GB, and eventually terabit (1,000GB). Operators are looking to carrier-grade all IP infrastructure to best manage this growth and maximize on future trends.
