Stellar Quarter for Cisco as US Operators Open Their Wallets |
May 17, 2012
RENO, NV--(Marketwire - May 17, 2012) - Data just released by Synergy Research Group shows that Q1 vendor revenues for service provider routers and carrier Ethernet were down 6% sequentially and down marginally year on year -- with Cisco being the only vendor to buck the overall market trend. Cisco's Q1 revenues in this segment were 2% up on Q4 2011, while all other vendors experienced sequential declines. Cisco's market share jumped to 56% in the quarter, while it averaged 50% for 2011. Alcatel-Lucent can have some reasons to be cheerful; while its revenues dropped off from Q4, they were up year-on-year (albeit relative to a poor Q1 in 2011). Alcatel claimed 17% of the Q1 market, slightly up on its overall 2011 market share; it also maintained its number 2 ranking for the second straight quarter, keeping Juniper pegged third. One positive indicator for Juniper was that sales did bounce back strongly in North America after a very soft fourth quarter.
