North American Enterprise Telephony System Markets Analyses.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c46335) has announced the addition of "North American North American named after North America. North American blastomycosis see North American blastomycosis. North American cattle tick see boophilusannulatus. Enterprise Telephony System Markets" to their offering. This Frost & Sullivan research service titled North American Enterprise Telephony System Markets provides an overview of current and the anticipated revenue and shipment information and market share analysis of the telephony market, along with a complete analysis of key market drivers and restraints, and trends that impact the North American premise-based telephony market. In this research service, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following markets/applications/technologies: time division multiplexing (communications) time division multiplexing - (TDM) A type of multiplexing where two or more channels of information are transmitted over the same link by allocating a different time interval ("slot" or "slice") for the transmission of each channel. I.e. (TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. ) telephony market, Key telephone system (KTS KTS Knots (plural of knot, 1 nautical mile per hour) KTS Key Telephone System KTS Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome KTS Kill the Spams (email filter) KTS Knowledge Technology Solutions PLC ) market, IP PBX (Internet Protocol Private Branch eXchange) A telephone switch that supports voice over IP (VoIP). IP PBXs convert IP phone calls into traditional circuit-switched TDM connections for the PSTN. market, total IP telephony market and IP-enabled market. Market Sectors Expert Frost & Sullivan analysts thoroughly examine the following market sectors in this research: * Enterprise Telephony Systems Market * Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) Telephony Systems Market * IP -Enabled Systems * IP-PBX (Private Branch eXchange) Systems Technologies The following technologies are covered in this research: * Private Branch eXchange (PBX (Private Branch eXchange) An inhouse telephone switching system that interconnects telephone extensions to each other as well as to the outside telephone network (PSTN). ) * TDM PBX (Time Division Multiplexing/ Private Branch exchange) * IP-enabled PBX - The IP-enabled systems market comprises IP line and trunk cards that allow traditional TDM telephony-based PBX systems to interface with IP endpoints on connected and remote local area networks (LANs). This approach provides an option for customers to protect their investment in legacy equipment until the equipment is fully amortized, thus enabling a gradual migration to IP-based systems. * Converged solutions or IP PBX - The converged system is an integrated circuit-switched and packet-switched system that has a proprietary common control complex and supports both pulse code modulation pulse code modulation: see modulation. See PCM. (data) Pulse Code Modulation - (PCM) A method by which an audio signal is represented as digital data. (PCM (1) See phase change memory. (2) (Plug Compatible Manufacturer) An organization that makes a computer or electronic device that is compatible with an existing machine. )-based digital stations and IP phones. Converged systems typically have a shared LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. hub or a LAN switch with routing capabilities. Converged systems are mostly the preferred choice in the case of enterprises with large investments in legacy handsets. Market Overview IP Telephony Currently a Most Wanted Communication Solution Internet protocol (IP) telephony has proved itself as an efficient, economic, and flexible communication solution. Cost savings associated with converging two disparate networks and two different sets of IT and telecom personnel remains the primary driver for IP telephony, says the analyst of this research service. Increased end-user convenience and productivity gains due to applications such as unified messaging and presence that can run on IP telephony systems promote the steady migration to IP. The substantial capital expenditure required to deploy IP telephony, however, holds back cash-conscious users. Cost/price advantage is the most important selection criterion among the majority of medium-sized enterprises. IP telephony vendors need to develop a sound return on investment model in terms of hard and soft dollars, so that small and medium end users can comprehend the cost-benefit ratio Cost-benefit ratio The net present value of an investment divided by the investment's initial cost. Also called the profitability index. over a period, says the analyst. Vendors also need to adopt a much more proactive approach in monitoring the network before and after implementation. New vendors are lowering price points and focusing on customer support in order to differentiate from the established vendors and gain market share. Rapid Growth Fuelled by Large Customer Base and New Product Developments Increasing numbers of telecommuters, as well as the mobility of the enterprise workforce, which require easy-to-implement voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) solutions, drive growth of the enterprise premise-based telephony market. In recent years, a number of vendors have either introduced new products or upgraded their solutions to standards such as the session initiation protocol (protocol) Session Initiation Protocol - (SIP) A very simple text-based application-layer control protocol. It creates, modifies, and terminates sessions with one or more participants. Such sessions include Internet telephony and multimedia conferences. It is described in RFC 2543. (SIP). Others have invested millions on product development and marketing initiatives to migrate customers to IP telephony and this strategy is leading to a surge in IP phone and line shipments. Another trend among IP telephony vendors is to strengthen their application bundling strategy. For example, several telephony vendors have announced integration with Microsoft LCS LCS - Language for Communicating Systems and Office Communicator due to customer demand as well as to take advantage of Microsoft installed base.
