Service Provider Router Market Slows Dramatically

Growth Rate Expected to Plummet Next Year

Redwood City, Calif. – December 09, 2008 –According to a newly published report by Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, the worldwide service provider router market experienced a sharp slowdown in the third quarter, as sales grew at the lowest rate in five years. The report highlights the effect of service provider spending patterns and network construction priorities on the router market for the third quarter of this year, and the effect these factors will carry into 2009.

“Our research and analysis showed that the slower growth had more to do with revenue timing and specific network construction projects, rather than the recent financial market turmoil,” said Shin Umeda, Vice President at Dell’Oro Group. “The full brunt of the economic meltdown will occur next year, and we have incorporated that into our current forecast for 2009. We expect service providers to reign in their spending next year that will significantly reduce the market growth rate in 2009,” added Umeda.
