Most Phone Systems Will Be VoIP by 2007
A full 97% of new phone systems installed in North America in 2007 will be VoIP or a hybrid of VoIP and circuit-switched systems, predicts Jeff Snyder, an analyst at Gartner Inc. in Stamford, Conn. In fact, the market shows a clear decline in the number of traditional voice switches sold in North America and an increase in IP-enabled or pure IP systems. Revenue for pure IP systems sold in North America in 2005 are expected to hit $903 million, up 32% from $686 million in 2004, Gartner estimates show.
