BOSTON, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/28/06 -- The enterprise telephony market continues its
steady transition from circuit switching technology to packet switching
technology, with worldwide TDM system revenue falling 15% and IP PBX
revenue rising 23% between 2004 to 2005, according to Infonetics Research's
latest Enterprise Telephony report.
Together, worldwide TDM and IP PBX systems revenue totaled $8.1 billion in
2005, a 12% increase over 2004, and will grow 43% between 2005 and 2009,
when it will reach $11.6 billion as organizations continue to move to VoIP.
In that five-year span, IP PBX revenue is forecast to jump up 82% while TDM
revenue will plunge 88%.
For the quarter, PBX/KTS revenue totaled $2.2 billion in 4Q05, up 1% over
3Q05, and 10% higher than a year ago. TDM system revenue was down 6% in
4Q05, and IP PBX revenue nudged 3% higher than last quarter.
"The PBX market came in at our expectations in 2005, and from a global
perspective is doing very well," said Matthias Machowinski, directing
analyst at Infonetics Research. "Worldwide revenue growth accelerated in
2005, although it's mostly coming from EMEA, Asia Pacific, and CALA. North
America lost revenue share in 2005 as things slowed down here, showing just
4% revenue growth for the year."

Alcatel, and NEC (in that order) lead in worldwide 2005 line shipments
-- Nortel leads the North American IP PBX market in line shipments for
2005, followed by Avaya and Cisco, but it's a close race among all three

2005
