As pointed out in my recent report, out of the mid tier VoIP vendors, Veraz and Sonus face the hardest task ahead as independent companies. Among the mid tier vendors, there are three distinct categories. One is those vendors that have best of the breed but only a specific product solution. They sell their products through their OEM partners and that represents their main source of revenue. These include Acme Packet, Broadsoft, and Genband (Genband without Nortel assets). This category does not compete so much with the incumbent vendors.
