Wednesday January 21, 12:00 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Communications Industry Researchers, Inc. Voice-over-ATM to be Fastest Growing Application for Cell Relay Services Says New Report CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Jan. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Service providers who offer ATM/cell relay services expect voice to be the fastest growing application for ATM services, according to a survey of leading service providers conducted by Communications Industry Researchers, Inc., (CIR) a research and consulting company based here. This fact along with other important research findings are contained in a new CIR study, ATM Markets: A SECOND LOOK -- THE PUBLIC SERVICE PROVIDER ENVIRONMENT, that has just been published. Rising Voice According to respondents to the CIR survey, voice will grow from 7 percent of cell relay service revenues at the present time to 17 percent of service revenues by the year 2000, making it the fastest growing segment of the cell relay services market. (See table below) This growth will be fueled by the need of corporate users to run all their traffic over a single platform. However, the respondents to the CIR survey generally believed that it will be more than five years before the public service providers begin to convert their voice networks over to ATM, trunking for both economic and regulatory reasons. Although voice is on the rise, the most popular use of ATM services is still LAN interconnection. A Second Look ATM MARKETS: A SECOND LOOK -- THE PUBLIC SERVICE PROVIDER ENVIRONMENT provides a lot more than just an analysis of the new role that voice will play in driving the market for cell relay market.
