The report reveals that cellular operators worldwide have so far deployed about 9.9 million Voice-Over-Packet (VoP) ports for trunking. Packetized wireless trunking has substantially brought down the cost of call delivery as the operators take advantage of packet based transport medium. According to the report, the cumulative figure of 9.9 million VoP ports includes 3.8 million VoIP ports, the rest being VoATM. The report establishes market size and identifies leaders in several categories including the following: wireless VoIP trunking ports, wireless VoP trunking ports, wireless VoIP trunking minutes, wireless VoP trunking minutes, mobile softswitch licenses etc.

Following are the Top 5 vendors in the communications chip industry for the 1Q 2007: Texas Instruments, Freescale Semiconductor, STMicroelectronics, Broadcom, Qualcomm and Infineon Technologies.
IP TV Equipment: 2Q07 Update, a brief report announced today by iLocus forecasts IPTV equipment trends and updates
Highlights: Worldwide IPTV equipment revenue touches $158 million in Q1 2007
According to a new quarterly report published by iLocus, IPTV equipment sales revenue touched $158 million in Q1 2007. The product categories tracked in the report include IP Settop boxes, IPTV Middleware(server side), IPTV Encoders and IPTV VoD servers.
An estimated 978,868 IP Set top boxes were shipped in Q1 2007 thereby generating revenue of $108.3 million worldwide. Cisco (former Scientific Atlanta product line) emerged as leader in this category. Motorola and Amino grabbed second and third positions respectively in Q1 2007.
The report reveals that the US cellular operators are headed toward a loss of $3.3 billion a year by 2011 due to FMC. FMC, being trialed by over 250 service providers worldwide, has so far been handled with caution by the cellular operators who are not certain whether FMC will have a positive or a negative impact on them in the long run. The report offers first firm estimates of revenue losses/gain for cellular operators due to FMC. Sensitivity analysis shows that cellular operators in the US need to gain over 70 percent of the FMC market to balance the loss. The other way to balance the impact is to secure migration from fixed to FMC accounts. In the latter case, US cellular operators would need to own at least 78 percent of such FMC subscriptions. In a similar analysis for the UK, cellular operators there stand to lose $1.3 billion a year by 2011 due to FMC. The report analysis the impact of FMC in 12 countries.
