ALAMEDA, CA--(Marketwire - 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."
