Demand Surges for Mobile Softswitch Infrastructure, Finds Research Report

27 March 2006

Demand for mobile softswitch equipment is surging worldwide as operators cap spending on the "classic" mobile switching center (MSC) infrastructure at the heart of today's mobile networks and direct new investment to packet-based voice switching architectures in preparation for a stepwise migration to IP Multimedia Subsystem and, ultimately, the all-IP mobile network, finds a new report from the subscription research service Unstrung Insider (http://www.unstrung.com/insider).

The report, Wireless Softswitching: Mobilizing IP, analyzes the technologies, standards, and economics supporting the migration from circuit- based to packet-based voice core networks, as operators combat the dual challenges of accelerating traffic growth and falling price per minute with more efficient, modern, and future-proof switching infrastructure.

The second part of the report is focused on vendor positioning in the mobile softswitch market. It analyzes vendor momentum, in terms of customer contracts and unit shipments, and evaluates vendor product evolution strategies from "graceful" upgrades to existing MSCs through to new MSC server and media gateway products implemented on ATCA hardware platforms with industry-leading processing power and port densities.

Among the highlights of the report:

* 2005 was the year that mobile softswitches really took off and sounded

the death-knell for legacy circuit-switched products. To prosper from

this trend, equipment suppliers require a deep-rooted commitment to

transforming their product lines.

* The report contains, where available, data on individual vendors' market

momentum since Unstrung Insider's last mobile softswitch report,

published in June 2005.

* Operators see substantial capex savings from the move to softswitching,

but many have yet to realize the promised opex benefits.

* Alcatel, Ericsson, Huawei, and Nokia are leading the vendor market;

Nortel, Motorola, and Lucent are mounting challenges.

* Vendors are split between those promoting graceful upgrades to the

installed base via an "H.248 Plug" and those with more aggressive, IP-

oriented systems based on ATCA.

Companies analyzed in this report: Alcatel; Ericsson AB; Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd.; Lucent Technologies Inc.; Motorola Inc.; Nokia Corp.; Nortel Networks Ltd.; and Siemens AG.
