Gain an Insight into the Current Market Factors Driving the NGN Migration.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c49954) has announced the addition of In-Depth Analysis: IMS/NGN Network Strategies and Deployments to their offering.

The path to IMS, and the NGN, is becoming clearer. Initial IMS deployments are beginning in both the mobile and fixed-line operator segments. This report identifies major IMS contracts and deployments, as well as the current market factors driving the NGN migration. It includes a discussion of next-generation market realities and opportunities. Wireless and wireline carrier IMS migration strategies are outlined, documenting the roadmap to fixed/mobile convergence and the all-IP NGN.

For global equipment vendors, telcos, cable operators ISPs, and financial analysts worldwide, this report provides a concise analysis of IMS/NGN issues. It predicts the pace of network migration and provides valuable insight into future service provider market opportunities.

The report includes global forecasts for both total WAN equipment CAPEX and NGN CAPEX, segmented by network layer. Regional views of the CAPEX forecasts for North America, Europe, China, Japan, APAC, and ROW are included.

The report also presents the 2007-2011 global forecast of IMS subscribers, by geographic region. A five-year revenue forecast for new IMS services, segmented by consumer/enterprise/SMB completes the analysis.
