Infonetics Research: Policy server market a bright spot in the hunkering-down telecom sector
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) CAMPBELL, CA, November 19 / MARKET WIRE/ --
Service providers are increasingly seeing
policy servers -- software platforms that help determine which customers
and applications should get bandwidth priority and when -- as a necessary
cost to ensure fair usage in advanced fixed and mobile networks, says
market research firm Infonetics
Research in a new report.
The report, Policy Servers
Worldwide Market Size and Forecasts, shows the number of worldwide
mobile and fixed-line policy server licenses is more than doubling in 2008
over 2007, and despite the harsh economic climate, is expected to more than
double again in 2009. Policy server vendor revenue will reach an
accumulative total of $1.6 billion worldwide over the 5 years from 2007 to
2011, Infonetics predicts.
"Because of policy servers' importance in tying bandwidth and application
usage to subscriber accounts, and allowing fixed and mobile networks to
more effectively allocate bandwidth to subscribers, devices, and
applications, policy servers are fast approaching 'must-have' status. Our
discussions with service providers either currently deploying or planning
to deploy a policy server indicate that the incremental cost of a policy
server platform is well worth the capital outlay, especially in mobile
networks, where broadband data usage is soaring among HSPA providers. As a
result, the policy server segment won't be affected much by current
economic contractions," said Jeff Heynen, directing
analyst for Broadband, IPTV, and Next Gen OSS at Infonetics Research.
More highlights from the
report:
-- The policy server market has already shown signs of consolidation and
attrition, with companies such as Tazz Networks going out of business
-- Alcatel-Lucent, Bridgewater Systems, Camiant, Ericsson, Juniper, and
Nokia Siemens are the major policy server players in the market today
-- By 2011, worldwide vendor revenue from mobile policy servers will more
than triple fixed-line policy servers
-- Between 2007 and 2011, North America's share of worldwide policy
server revenue will decrease from 40% to 22%, while Asia Pacific's share
will increase 30% to 37%
