RENO, NV--(Marketwire - April 23, 2008) - Synergy Research Group (SRG) announces the
availability of the Synergy 2007 IPTV Market Share report, which shows the
overall IPTV equipment revenue, from the core of the network to the set-top
box, growing aggressively at 47 percent year over year.
The Synergy study finds that Service Providers are making significant
capital investments today to strategically position their network's
capability to provide next generation television services. As Cable
companies have successfully taken a bite out of the Service Provider's
telephone and broadband Internet business, Service Providers are making the
necessary investments to get a slice of the massive TV market.
The aggressive growth in IPTV equipment revenue continues to be driven by
upgrades to carrier networks, especially at the Edge. Such investments are
increasing the velocity of Carrier Ethernet deployments. The lower costs
associated with Carrier Ethernet continue to drive Service Provider's
decisions to deliver IPTV using Carrier Ethernet at the Edge of their
next-generation network.
"IPTV has transitioned from a forward-thinking play to an essential
strategy for Service Providers to counter competitive forces and pursue
lucrative revenue opportunities," says Ray Mota, Ph.D., Chief Research
Officer at Synergy Research Group. "This continues to translate into
dollars spent on infrastructure equipment providing intelligence and
service delivery at the Edge of the Service Provider's network."
From a market share perspective, Cisco continues to dominate the IPTV
market, receiving 59 percent of this total IPTV CAPEX spend. It is
followed by Alcatel-Lucent, capturing 13 percent of the revenue, and
Motorola with 11 percent. Juniper's share was 10 percent.
