This IDC study presents IDC's mobile softswitch and mobile IP multimedia subsystem (IMS)/media gateway network equipment market forecast for Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ, covering the years 2008-2012. Key contents include market sizing and forecast for APEJ markets, namely, Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, PRC, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand.
"The APEJ mobile softswitch and IMS/media gateway spending remains positive throughout the five-year forecast until 2012. Investment is driven by mobile operators' continuous network enhancements and upgrades to facilitate the delivery of next-generation mobile services, increase network capacity, and also to stay competitive by keeping their networks up-to-date with latest technology. Continuous efforts by Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to enhance the mobile architecture will be a major factor to drive mobile operators' investment in their network infrastructure," says Bill Rojas, director of Telecom Research Services, IDC Asia/Pacific.
