'Strong quarter' for IP router sales
04 Sep 2008
Vendors including Huawei and Fujitsu have reported strong quarterly sales of IP router equipment, according to figures from Infonetics.
The research organisation notes a growth rate in the market as a whole of 17 per cent during the second quarter of 2008 - a year-on-year increase of 40 per cent on the preceding 12 months.
Michael Howard, principal analyst and co-founder of Infonetics, says: "The two big drivers for continued growth are expanding traffic and IP transformation projects, with traffic the stronger factor."
He adds that the trend for growth of between 20 and 30 per cent each year since 2003 is likely to continue over the course of 2008.
Fujitsu proved the greatest performer in terms of market share, Infonetics notes, as it moved from ninth to sixth in the list of the sector's most significant participants.
Infonetics previously reported that Huawei had experienced a strong quarter in other areas of its operations, including sales of optical networking equipment.
