China's Huawei displaces Nortel in VoIP Sales in Asia-Pacific
According to Dittberner Associates, next generation network (NGN) equipment shipments were up 70 percent, with 27.3 million media gateway, softswitch and integrated voice over IP (VoIP) ports shipping last quarter. Worldwide VoIP port shipments alone rose 67 percent during the same period.
Revenues were up 49 percent worldwide as pricing pressure continues. VoIP revenues reached US$609 million in the third quarter, while Voice over Packet; IP/ATM/TDM revenues hit US$671 million.
China's Huawei Technologies displaced Nortel as the dominant player, shipping 12.36 million VoIP ports last quarter. Siemens continues to control the second largest share of the market, with 16%, while Nortel's market share slipped to 11%. According to Dittberner, Huawei's relative growth is due largely to the 202% increase in the Asia-Pacific NGN market, and an 81% growth in the Caribbean and Latin America.
