"MetaSwitch continues to grow steadily, because our core values of quality
technology, innovation, reliability and support are shared by our
customers," explained Ian Ferguson, MetaSwitch Chairman. "As carriers
closely examine their expenditure, they are aggressively seeking
financially stable partners that can deliver an immediate impact on their
bottom line, with the deployment of new, quick-to-revenue applications and
services. MetaSwitch remains committed to growing our internal resources so
we can continue to help our customers to address their business
challenges."
MetaSwitch has a unique track record of success in the next-generation
voice communications industry, both in terms of technological advancements
and company growth. During the last year alone, MetaSwitch introduced a
host of new applications and services, including enhancements to its
MetaSphere application suite, as well as its MetaView Network Management
System. Additionally, revenue from carrier VoIP solutions has grown by
more than 50% annually over the last five years, with consistent
profitability and operating margins in excess of 20%. As a result,
MetaSwitch is now the preeminent vendor of switching and applications
solutions in North America, with a growing worldwide presence.
"Despite a failing economy, we predict continued growth in the VoIP
infrastructure market over the next five years,(1)" said Deborah Kish,
principal research analyst for carrier network infrastructure, Gartner,
Inc. "And, with many incumbent vendors facing significant challenges, newer
players with greater customer focus and growth potential are likely to
increase market share."
