VoIP industry continues growth, has strong outlook

As companies start to invest more in a mobile business plan for employees, VoIP services are growing in popularity. The ability to keep an entire workforce connected is an increasing challenge and, as such, unified communications options are more attractive. Because more enterprises are turning toward a new communications setup, the VoIP market is soaking up the benefits.

The VoIP industry has experienced a 16.7 percent annual growth between 2007 and 2012, according to a report from data center Colocation America. The report goes on to call VoIP one of the fastest growing technology industries.

Those numbers go hand in hand with a second report from Visiongain – a leading business information research firm – that looked at the global mobile VoIP market. According to the report, the wireless infrastructure market is set to reach $45.1 billion in 2012 while global mobile VoIP revenues will reach $2.5 billion in 2012.

“Few services promise the transformative impact on the telecoms landscape as mobile VoIP does,” commented the author of the Visiongain report. “With virtually no comparable rival technologies, the only barrier to success lies with operator strategies. This holistic report provides a crucial overview of the current market and an accurate forecast of how it will develop over the next five years.”

Revamping a phone system is not a simple task for any enterprise. Businesses looking to incorporate a VoIP or unified communications options, would be wise to contact an IT consultant like CTI Technology before deploying a new telecommunications setup.
