Over 2 million IP PBX’s sold in Q2, 2007
Research firm iLocus released a report saying that 2.23 million IP PBX licenses were sold in the 2nd quarter of 2007. This has generated revenues in excess of $208 million, mainly for Cisco who is the overall market leader. Other key players were Mitel, 3Com and ShoreTel. North America accounted for 68% of the shipments, followed by EMEA.
Notably absent from the report are Avaya, Nortel and Alcatel-Lucent, presumably because the report only includes the sales of pure IP PBX’s. iLocus has discontinued reporting legacy and hybrid PBX systems, which still account for a significant share of the market, providing a bit of a skewed perspective.
