CopperCom SoftSwitch Sales Halted
CopperCom is getting out of the softswitch business, says Light Reading.
Light Reading says CopperCom CEO Julian Thomson says CopperCom "will no longer market the CSX, CopperCommander, and Switchmaxx/VoiceMaxx product lines."
The decision was "primarily due to a lack of demand for our products," Thomson says. "We looked at our forecasting, our market sizing, and so forth going forward, and the demand simply wasn't there."
While competitors stand to benefit from one less softswitch vendor in the market, Light Reading says the effect of CopperCom's demise will be minimal because the company hasn't been actively competing in the market for some time.
One might note that the softswitch market is a bit smallish for the number of suppliers. Infonetics data shown above.
