NEW YORK, USA: Ovum today posted its analysis of global second quarter 2007 service provider switching and routing equipment sales. Sales in 2Q07 grew to $2.6 billion overall, a 14 percent increase compared to one year ago.

“Alcatel-Lucent continued its strong IP/MPLS growth, Juniper networks looks to be making a turn around, and Cisco returned to expected revenue levels,” said Mark Seery, Vice President, Switching and Routing, at Ovum-RHK. “Both IP and Ethernet over MPLS continue to grow strongly, driven by NGN service transformation and the move to packet-based wireline and wireless networks.”

2Q07 highlights for technology-focused market segments:

· IP/MPLS core = $595 million, up 27 percent versus 2Q06

· IP/MPLS edge = $1,268 million, up 29 percent versus 2Q06

· IP/Ethernet = $430 million, up 11 percent versus 2Q06

2Q07 highlights for application-focused market segments:

· IP transport and services = $1,272 million, up 27 percent versus 2Q06

· Ethernet transport and services = $906 million, up 23 percent versus 2Q06

· Subscriber services / BRAS = $248 million, up 4 percent versus 2Q06
