Manufactures include commmunications, electrical, electronic, and medical equipment. , Calif. -- A recently published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, reveals that worldwide IP phone revenues exceeded $750 million in the third quarter of this year, growing more than 40 percent compared to the same period last year, due in large part to strong demand for IP lines to the desktop. The report indicates that IP phone revenues are becoming a larger part of a vendor's revenue stream as customers are opting for more expensive IP phones instead of keeping or replacing their older digital phones. "IP Phone growth accelerated in the third quarter as large enterprises that have completed the first phase of revamping their voice infrastructure by upgrading their call control to IP are now entering the second, multi-year phase of upgrading users' desktops to IP phones," commented Alan Weckel, Senior Analyst at Dell'Oro Group. "Vendors, such as Avaya, Cisco, and Nortel that are closely integrating voice into an enterprise's business processes - such as deploying Unified Communications The real time redirection of a voice, text or e-mail message to the device closest to the intended recipient at any given time.
