Report On New Broadband Infrastructures Marks Rebirth of Product and Service
Opportunities
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 5, 2000--
MRG Report Links Soft Switch/Integrated Access Device
with Voice-Over-IP (VoIP), Unified Messaging, and
Other New Service Opportunities
Despite the dark clouds moving over the "dot com" sector, the broadband data
infrastructure sector sees long stretches of sunny weather ahead. Regardless of
which content and e-commerce companies eventually survive the inevitable era of
consolidation, one continuing certainty is the need for reliable and robust
communications networks, according to a new report from MRG, Inc. (Multimedia
Research Group, Inc.) Many of these changes will occur in the Central Offices
(COs) of Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILECs) and Competitive Local
Exchange Carriers (CLECs).
"Next Generation Networks: Trends and Business Opportunities in Technologies
and Services" examines how the replacement and upgrading of these network
infrastructures will bring fresh opportunities across many industry sectors. By
focusing on the growth of programmable switches (or soft switches), Integrated
Access Devices, Wireless Base Stations, and both cable and DSL modems, the
report shows how these new products are successfully leading the migration to
high-speed services. Services include Voice-over-IP, PCS (Personal
Communications Services), unified messaging, voice-activated menu services, and
others. The report also examines how such "value-added" services have become a
key role in the industries' marketing strategies.
Broadband subscriber growth forecasts include DSL providers, ILECs, CLECs,
and cable (MSO) providers. Equipment growth forecasts include DSL modems,
Integrated Access Devices, Cable Modems, and Wireless Base Stations.
The report includes what Cisco Systems, Lucent, and Nortel have in store for
the modern CO, including which specialized switches will be found there, and
how these specialized switches will augment or accommodate existing
communications, e-commerce, and industrial uses.
