Description
The carrier core switching and routing market segment consists of those equipment types used to construct the backbone (or core) of the service provider infrastructure networks from which they provide businesses and consumers with voice, data and video services. This equipment is designed to meet and pass a rigid set of design and operational requirements to become “carrier-grade” - including such features as high reliability, scalability, manage-ability and certifications such as NEBS level III and ETSI. IP core router vendors have enjoyed good quarter over quarter growth as the core network expands to accommodate increased bandwidth and capacity to meet the demands of services such as triple play, IPTV, gaming and higher speed broadband access. This Competitive Landscape Report combines company and market analysis from the leading telecommunications competitive response firm, Current Analysis, with quantitative market share data from one of the industry's most respected market research firms, Synergy Research Group.
