Research And Markets

 

"The Diameter protocol is an extension of, and replacement for, the renowned Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocol for Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA). Driven by the transition from 2G/3G to LTE networks, ARCchart expects DSC product sales to account for nearly $500 million in revenue by the end of 2017, representing a CAGR of nearly 90% over the next four years."

-"Given its enhanced reliability, scalability, security and flexibility over legacy protocols, Diameter has been chosen as the de-facto signalling protocol in all next generation fixed and mobile IP-based networks, such as IMS and the LTE Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network."

"The on-going adoption of signalling intensive applications on smartphones and tablets, such as social networking, is creating a flood of network signalling. Consequently, operators are taking a proactive stance towards managing the signalling tsunami as they plan their future LTE and IMS rollouts. By 2017, ARCchart expects mobile network operators worldwide will process a total of 120 million Diameter messages per second on their networks."

"On the back of explosive growth in 2012, the Diameter signaling controller market is set to double this year as operators across the globe continue to build out LTE networks and as mobile broadband usage soars"

“The Diameter signaling control market is still relatively new, but in 2013 it matured through the success of a broader range of vendors and strong growth worldwide, with revenue more than doubling over the previous year,” notes Diane Myers, principal analyst for VoIP, UC, and IMS at Infonetics Research. Myers adds: “The vendor landscape continues to shift with acquisitions and new entrants. Oracle, via its acquisition of Tekelec and Acme Packet, is the Diameter signaling control market leader in 2013, followed very closely by F5 and Huawei. Ericsson and Huawei have made significant pushes into the Diameter space and should be viewed as formidable threats. As exploding traffic from mobile devices, smartphones, and machines further vexes mobile operators, we expect competition in the Diameter signaling controller market to intensify in 2014.”

Exact Ventures

 

-"...cumulative product revenues between 2011 and 2016 are forecasted to approach $1 billion, a 25 percent increase compared to Exact Ventures’ prior forecast. Service providers fortifying their networks in anticipation of LTE-based signaling storms are fueling this market growth. Adding to the market opportunity are services revenues, including software maintenance, which is expected to approach 40 percent of the overall market in 2017" -"More and more service providers, especially those with LTE-based networks, are being proactive and precautionary regarding their signaling infrastructure because signaling traffic is very difficult to predict and signaling storms can overwhelm networks resulting in network failures that in turn can result in subscriber churn."
