Cisco leads enterprise session border controller market with 26% revenue share in H1

Telecom Lead India: Cisco leads the enterprise session border controller market with 26 percent revenue share in the first half of 2012.

Acme Packet is the other top enterprise SBC vendor by global revenue share in H1.

According to Infonetics Research, for the first time ever, Cisco captured the lead in the enterprise session border controller market, taking 26 percent revenue market share in the first half of 2012.

“Cisco’s been able to turn its market-leading position in IP PBXs, VoIP gateways, and data networking equipment into an advantage, upselling its enterprise SBCs to this customer base as they transition to services such as SIP trunking,” said Diane Myers, principal analyst for VoIP, UC, and IMS at Infonetics Research.

Meanwhile, worldwide revenue for enterprise SBCs hit $82.5 million in the first half of 2012.

Systems with fewer than 800 sessions comprise the largest share of enterprise SBC sales.

Competitive pressures during the first half of the year impacted average revenue per session downward.

Infonetics Research forecasts the enterprise SBC market to grow strongly, topping $430 million in 2016.
