Infonetics Research: PBX market's steady recovery continues; move to IP accelerates; Cisco leads UC


CAMPBELL, CA, May 19, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Market research firm Infonetics Research released its first quarter 2011 (1Q11) Enterprise Unified Communication, VoIP, and TDM Equipment preliminary vendor market share report, led by VoIP and IMS analyst Diane Myers.



ANALYST NOTE "The global PBX market is typically down in the first quarter following a strong fourth quarter, and 1Q11 was no exception as the overall market dipped 2.6%, dragged down by slowing TDM PBX sales as businesses continue to shift to IP. The good news is the quarter was up 8.5% over the year-ago quarter (1Q10), signaling a return to stability," notes Diane Myers, directing analyst for VoIP and IMS at Infonetics Research.
