IP convergence gathering momentum (Nortel leads)
Published Thursday, February 23, 2006 by M1Tech | E-mail this post
Good to see Nortel coming out ontop of the pile for IP line sales. They have in my opinion one of the best Converged IP PBX's available on the market. Every line that Cisco sells is IP. Nortel sells IP where it makes sense. Never discount TDM. TDM makes alot of sense to have in your arsenal when deploying a new Greenfield PBX or upgrading an existing PBX.

Voice and data convergence is speeding up, according to newly published research from Dell'Oro Group.
The analyst firm reported that sales of PBX IP lines increased 42 per cent year-over-year during the fourth quarter of 2005, while sales of traditional circuit-switched TDM lines decreased by two per cent.
"The momentum is building for IP line sales. For example, the rate of growth in the fourth quarter 2005 was about 50 per cent higher than the past several quarters," said Steve Raab, director of IP telephony research at Dell'Oro Group.
"This new level of growth is sustainable because manufacturers have enhanced the feature richness of their IP products, and users are more familiar and comfortable with voice over IP."
The Dell'Oro Group's IP Telephony Enterprise Quarterly Report showed that Nortel edged out Cisco as the number one supplier of PBX IP lines, with Avaya in third position.
The report also predicted that Nortel is on track to generate more PBX sales from IP lines than TDM lines in the next two quarters.
