Abstract
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.
