iLocus predicts an IPO or acquisition of Digum within 12 months.<\/p>\n
Highlights from the article include:<\/p>\n
Asterisk Open Source PBX currently downloaded an average of 3000 times per day.<\/p>\n
Digium claims to have recently had their 26th consecutive profitable growth quarter.<\/p>\n
Digium has shipped over 4 million gateway ports to date.<\/p>\n
Digium sales are allocated approximately 52% North America, 25% EMEA, 23% APAC and CALA.<\/p>\n
Nearly 45% of all Asterisk downloads these days come from Europe.<\/p>\n
According to Digium, there are roughly 3.5 million to 4 million Asterisk servers deployed worldwide.<\/p>\n
Digium estimates 110 million end points are connected to Asterisk systems.<\/p>\n
Service providers who have built production services on Asterisk accounted for over 6 billion commercial VoIP minutes in 2007, and that volume is expected to double in 2008.<\/p>\n
Digium claims 900k IP Phones were added to Asterisk based service provider systems in 2007, excluding the self-managed Asterisk networks of enterprise users.<\/p>\n
Digium plans to address scalability issues in the short term.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The remainder of 2008 will certainly not be without drama in the OSS telephony industry. OpenSER, recently re-named Kamailio Project, and FreeSwitch<\/a> both have aspirations to unseat Asterisk. OpenSER is more widely deployed in the service provider\/carrier space, and accounts for more wholesale minute traffic according to iLocus. FreeSwitch have recently aligned themselves with Sangoma<\/a>, a fierce competitor to Digium in the TDM hardware space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
