According to an In-Stat (News - Alert) report released today, “Multi-Service Business Gateway Worldwide Market Update” there is an overwhelming appeal of multi-service business gateway devices to businesses that operate small, medium and branch offices.

 

The research firm says that MSBGs will be the means by which nearly all future technology is adopted in the SMB and branch office market segment. In-Stat defines MSBGs as products that are specifically designed for small business and branch office applications that integrate multiple communication voice, data, and video functions into a single device.

 

Keith Nissen, In-Stat analyst, says that the majority of MSBG sales to SMBs will be for newly opened offices due to high business failure rates. Enterprise branch office MSBG installations will increasingly be equipment replacement sales.

The research also shows that the U.S. MSBG market will grow to nearly $1.7 billion in 2012 and the global MSBG shipments will grow at a 33 percent Compound Annual Growth Rate over the next five years.
