Voice-over-Internet chip sales to reach $1.4 billion by 2006, says report Semiconductor Business News (04/17/02 16:08 p.m. EST) TEMPE, Ariz. -- The packet voice equipment market has almost completed the changeover from frame relay-based technology to voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP), with channel/port shipments expected to grow at a 116% compound annual rate between 2001 and 2006, according to a new report from Forward Concepts here today. siliconstrategies.com The report said 12 million channels were shipped in 2001 and 560 million are now expected in 2006. Media gateways and remote access concentrators account for the bulk of the current market, with wireline consumer premise equipment (CPE) segments well ahead of wireless, according to the report. For semiconductor suppliers, the VoIP market will translate into $1.4 billion in revenues in 2006 for digital signal processors (DSPs) and chip sets compared to just $129 million in 2001, said Forward Concepts. That revenue increase is equal to a 61% compound annual growth rate.
