MetaSwitch Assumes Carrier VoIP Leadership Position
Infonetics Research Recognizes MetaSwitch's Strong Performance in Worldwide Vendor Ranking, Driven by Continued Strength in North America Shipments
Alameda, CA: May 29, 2009. Just-released research by independent market analyst firm Infonetics Research puts MetaSwitch for the first time at the top of its global ranking of VoIP vendors for Class 5 softswitch licenses. According to the report, Service Provider VoIP Equipment and Subscribers Q1 2009, MetaSwitch is now the number one supplier of Class 5 softswitch licenses with 18.4 percent share. In North America, the company continued its leading position in the same product category, increasing its share to an impressive 60.1 percent.
"Our latest research confirms that MetaSwitch plays a significant role in the VoIP market, driven primarily by the leadership it has demonstrated with softswitch shipments in North America," said Diane Myers, directing analyst, service provider VoIP and IMS, Infonetics Research. "More than ever, carriers are looking closely at vendors' financial stability and market leadership. MetaSwitch is in a strong position on both fronts."
As service providers seek ways to reduce the high operational costs of legacy networks, many are migrating to packet-based architectures, with IP session control, call feature servers, and media gateways playing a key role in this transition. Others are introducing new revenue-generating services alongside existing legacy switches. MetaSwitch's strategy of delivering a range of core VoIP infrastructure and innovative IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) application solutions enables it to address a broad set of market requirements and maintain a strong leadership position.
"This latest report validates MetaSwitch's commitment to providing value to the service provider market with a broad range of next gen switching, applications and IMS services, as well as our leadership role in the industry," said John Lazar, CEO of MetaSwitch. "The cornerstone of our success is continued investment in quality engineering, exceptional customer support, reliability and innovation."
