REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Nov. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, announced today that overall Carrier IP Telephony market revenues experienced a 10% annual decline in the third quarter of 2011 as quarter-over-quarter growth in the Voice Application Server (VAS) segment failed to offset declines in the Media Gateway, Softswitch and Session Border Controller (SBC) segments. Two areas of strengths in the market were evident: Voice Over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) infrastructure spending and, similar to last quarter, business-focused VAS services.

"Based on recent interviews with vendors and service providers, we found that 3Q11 was the first quarter of significant revenue recognition for IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) equipment for LTE voice services," said Chris DePuy, Analyst at Dell'Oro Group. "It is exciting to see early signs that VoLTE infrastructure spending is underway. While the services will initially focus on voice, we expect service providers to offer new messaging and entertainment offerings to customers that will compete with Over The Top services such as Skype. We will be watching for handset availability over the next year to confirm that VoLTE services are rolling out as planned," continued DePuy.
GENBAND maintained its revenue share lead in the wireline voice core market, while Ericsson remained number one in wireless voice core.
