Strategy Analytics: Enterprise FMS Market to Reach $50 Billion by 2012

Simple Redirect and Hosted SIP to Grow, but UMA is Here to Stay
BOSTON--(Business Wire)--
A new Strategy Analytics Wireless Enterprise Strategies report,
"Fixed-Mobile Convergence in the Enterprise," predicts that the market
for Enterprise Fixed-Mobile Convergence solutions will grow to be
worth over $50 billion by 2012.

Strategy Analytics research has found that new factors are pushing
the enterprise market towards a tipping point at which companies can
see the business process benefits of Fixed-Mobile Convergence,
resulting in unreserved implementation.

Analysis of revenues by technology sector reveals that UMA
services will initially generate the more significant revenues due to
its early market entry, but this position will be eroded over time by
SIP-based services.

"The Emergence of a business justification for FMC based on
business processes, the breaking down of technology barriers and
increased interest in the concept, rather than simple cost
justification will feed through the market and drive the demand for
FMC," said David Kerr, Vice President, Global Wireless Practice.

"SIP-based services will initially be implemented by large
multinationals with the capacity to carry voice traffic on their
private MPLS network. Consequently, SIP-based revenues will overtake
UMA revenues toward the end of the forecast period. Moreover,
Microsoft's UC (Unified Communications) solution, is also likely to
see positive uptake as a business solution," commented Andrew Brown,
Director for Wireless Enterprise Strategies.
