IP telephony has finally arrived in Latin America, where 69 percent of lines shipments belong to IP-ready (converged or pure) equipment. For the past couple of years, Latin America has been experiencing an increasing migration from traditional enterprise telephony to IP telephony. This is because high demand for business efficiency have made end users conscious of the benefits of IP telephony. With reductions in the prices of IP pure lines and IP phones, small and medium businesses have also begun to invest in converged solutions, expanding IP adoption throughout the region.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Latin America Enterprise Telephony Solutions Market, finds that the market earned revenues of $778.9 million in 2007 and estimates this to reach $1.3 billion in 2013.

Most countries are taking advantage of the rapid economic development in Latin America by investing in new technologies. IP telephony vendors, after having cemented their presence in North America and Europe, are now training their sights on Latin America.

Having gained the attention of end users, IP telephony vendors will have to direct their efforts at resolving the issue of security. They have to educate end users not only about the improved quality but also instruct them to use the technology safely.

Vendors are not wasting any time in reacting to this trend. Many have launched unified communications solutions either for large or SMB segments. As the concept gains currency, end users will want more benefits from IP telephony.
