Abstract
Summary
This research is an update to the In-Stat report entitled Multi-Service
Business Gateways: Cisco Under Attack, #IN0702852LN, published April 2007,
which quantifies the worldwide market for SMB and branch office MSBG devices.
It is also an extension of research published in the In-Stat report entitled
Applications Define the Multi-Service Business Gateway, #IN0803993WWI,
published June 2008, which examines the attitudes and buying behavior toward
MSBGs by US businesses operating small, medium, and branch offices.
The research presents a detailed description of varying types of MSBGs,
categorizing products into router-based, voice-based, and office-in-a-box MSBG
devices. The evolution toward third-generation MSBGs is also examined. The
report quantifies the MSBG total available market, 2007 product shipments, and
a five year MSBG unit and revenue forecast for the US and global markets.
In-Stat' s research has confirmed the overwhelming appeal of multi-service
devices by businesses that operate small, medium, and branch offices. In-Stat
has also documented evolving technology trends that are creating
third-generation MSBGs. Based on this research, In-Stat has concluded that
MSBGs will be the means by which future IP communication technology is adopted
in the SMBs and branch office market segments.
