Infonetics Research: Enterprise videoconferencing and telepresence equipment a $5.4 billion market by 2015

BOSTON, MA, Oct 13, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Market research firm Infonetics Research today released excerpts from its second quarter (2Q11) Enterprise Telepresence and Video Conferencing report, which provides market size, vendor market share, and analysis for PBX-based video phones and software, as well as dedicated video conference infrastructure and endpoints, including immersive telepresence and software.

ANALYST NOTE "For the first 6 months of 2011, enterprise telepresence and video conferencing equipment revenue is up 24% year-over-year, and we expect strong double-digit growth in 2011 over 2010. Growth will stay in double-digit territory through at least 2015, thanks to demographic and communication trends favoring video, increasing acceptance of video among users, and specific use cases like tele-learning and tele-medicine," expects Matthias Machowinski, directing analyst for enterprise networks and video at Infonetics Research.
