VoIP equipment sales soared in Q4

It’s still too early to tell how the VoIP equipment market performed this past quarter, but iLocus says the VoIP equipment market grew substantially in Q4 2008.

According to their latest research which utilizes data from carriers, VoIP subscriber lines equipment saw quarter-over-quarter growth of 66%. That’s a hefty number in the face of economic fear, uncertainty and doubt.

These numbers don’t speak to the total VoIP equipment market, though one can imagine that if carriers are building out their infrastructures and new lines are being added, the market for premise based VoIP equipment grew in stride.

This is something that we’ve notice here at VoIP Supply. While the many an industry has struggled as has the VoIP industry, there is still strong interest and demand for VoIP system equipment.

And don’t be surprised if iLocus’ Q1 report shows more of the same. From what I’ve seen and heard Q1 wasn’t too bad to most in the VoIP equipment space.
