TechNavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Global IP Multimedia Subsystem Equipment Market: Alcatel-Lucent SA, Ericsson AB, Genband Inc., Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., Nokia Solutions and Networks Oy, and ZTE Corp.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s team said: “Virtualization is a metaphor for the IT world, while IP multimedia subsystem is an evolved architecture based on telecommunication networks. The implementation of virtualization in IP multimedia subsystem has several impacts. Virtualization is a key technical point of cloud computing. With the optimization technology such as VT-x, the most recent performance data shows it is comparable with the non-VM based IP multimedia subsystem system. It is still difficult to move some traditional telecommunication network elements to IP-based VMs, such as an E1 card of media gateway. The software and hardware of a telecommunication network are managed by network management system in a unified manner. However, the introduction of virtualization technology decouples the dependencies between software and hardware. They can be managed by different entities. This is a change to vendors’ network management systems. The migration of IP multimedia subsystem services to the cloud brings a more flexible network development style for carriers, and introduces a variety of services such as video conferencing to enterprise customers, end-users, or resellers. In addition, voice and video services become a kind of cloud computing service provided by carriers, which can be accessed anytime and anywhere through terminal devices.”
According to the report, one of the main growth drivers is the increasing popularity of LTE services. Mobile network operators are increasingly adopting IP multimedia subsystem for the delivery of their services over LTE-based networks.
Further, the report states that one of the main challenges is the increasing complexity in maintaining centralized databases. Many operators deploying IP multimedia subsystem applications have chosen to maintain only the subscriber data for new services in their HSS, while the old data are still located in HLR and other legacy databases.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
