InfoTech Study Shows 18% Increase in Global IP-PBX Line Shipments - IP-PBX Lines Represent 29% of Total Lines Shipped

Parsippany, NJ (ots)

According to a new study from InfoTech, a
leading market research and consulting firm, global line shipments of
IP-PBX systems increased 18% in the third quarter of 2003, compared
to the same period a year earlier -- representing 29% of total lines
shipped. This gain was not sufficient, however, to offset reduced
demand for traditional phone systems, as PBX and Key/Hybrid line
shipments declined 31% and 10%, respectively.
"Continued rapid growth in the IP-PBX market indicates that IP
telephony is moving out of the pilot and early adopter phase and into
the mainstream," said Frank Stinson, program director at InfoTech.
InfoTech's study also found that several manufacturers are
contributing to this IP-PBX growth by offering versatile converged
systems that can be implemented in TDM, IP, or mixed environments.
"Although third-quarter shipments of converged systems increased 41%
over last year, many of these systems are actually being deployed in
TDM configurations. We don't see a rapid shift in this trend since
many businesses still have limited plans for implementing IP
telephony or are pursuing a gradual migration away from TDM," added
Stinson.
The complete study findings from this research are available from
InfoTech's InfoTrack for Global Enterprise Communications program,
which provides a comprehensive quarterly view of global and regional
shipment activity of the three categories of IP-PBX systems
(Telephony-Enabled LAN, IP-Enabled PBX, Converged Systems), as well
