REDWOOD CITY, Calif., March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, announced today that it has launched coverage on the Wireless Voice Core market. The new report tracks wireless softswitches, wireless media gateways, and legacy mobile switching centers deployed in service provider mobile networks.

"Our new coverage on the wireless voice core market further illustrates Dell'Oro Group's commitment to expand coverage in the mobile infrastructure market that we first started tracking almost 10 years ago," said Tam Dell'Oro, President of Dell'Oro Group. "This new program is prepared with the same detailed methodology that has established us at the source for quality telecom market research since I started the company in 1995," she added.

The new report indicates that market revenues grew more than 10 percent to $1.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009, the highest level since the year-ago period.

"The fourth quarter was the silver lining last year for the Wireless Voice Core market," said Greg Collins, Vice President at Dell'Oro Group. "The market is still far from the level reached in 2008; however, we believe the market has stabilized and will not continue to see the steep revenue declines seen from 2008 to 2009," he added.

According to the report, Huawei and ZTE gained market share in 2009 due to their strong presence in the high-growth developing regions of Asia Pacific, EMEA, and Latin America.
