Infonetics: Videoconferencing and Telepresence Equipment Market Up 5%
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Market research firm Infonetics Research��released excerpts from its 4th quarter (4Q13) and year-end Enterprise Telepresence and Video Conferencing Equipment�report, which tracks dedicated and PBX-based videoconferencing and telepresence infrastructure and endpoints.
ANALYST NOTE
"Demand for video capabilities is at an all-time high, but businesses' willingness to spend isn't, causing a shift from high-end telepresence suites and multipurpose room systems to lower-cost software and videophones for personal videoconferencing," says �Matthias Machowinski, directing analyst for enterprise networks and video at Infonetics Research. "This, along with lower selling prices due to competition, is hampering a more robust recovery in the videoconferencing market."
