Increasing Need for Multi-Service Integration and Widespread VoIP and IP PBX Deployments Drive the Global Multi-Service Business Gateway Market
Unified communications applications, widespread VoIP and IP PBX
deployments, demand for multi-service integration in routers, and convergence
of security technologies are poised to drive the global market for MSBG to
exceed US$3.3 billion by 2024.
Information and communications technology (ICT), encompassing all
technologies that enable seamless communication, processing and presentation of
information, can increase productivity, quality and competitiveness of a
company, while reducing its cost structure. Multi-service business gateway
(MSBG) combines several network data and voice communications function in
single device. Aimed at small and medium enterprises (SMEs), MSBG incorporates
crucial functions including VoIP, routing, as well as security (firewall,
virtual private networking, and intrusion detection/prevention) in a
fault-tolerant single platform, with common management plane and control
oriented around service. Essentially therefore MSBG integrates multiple devices
such as IP router, VoIP gateway, Ethernet switch, analog/ISDN interfaces,
firewall security and certain specialized solutions customized for specific
industry categories.
MSBG has become a powerful communication platform for SMBs. Growth in
the market is expected to be driven by the growing popularity of managed and
hosted services. Key benefits of managed service driving its adoption among
SMBs include reduced cost of ownership, unrivalled control over the infrastructure,
eliminating the need to hire skilled and expensive IT staff, and reduced need
for upfront capital expenditure. Growing demand for Unified Communications (UC) applications
among enterprises is a strong growth driver for MSBG platforms. Capable of
enabling UC by providing a common platform for both voice and data services to
be provided over an IP network, thus allowing enterprises to simplify real-time
information delivery and ease of use, the MSBG platform will be the major
beneficiary of increased adoption of UC solutions. Growth in demand for VoIP
adoption and IP PBX deployments among SMBs indicates a strong business case for
