Abstract
Key technologies from varying broadband access product segments are converging. Products such as access routers, Ethernet switches, firewall security appliances, Integrated Access Devices (IADs), Voice-over Internet Protocol (VoIP) gateways and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) access points are all beginning to look alike. Over the next 12-24 months, In-Stat/MDR anticipates a new breed of multi-service devices will emerge. Designed to support multi-services from the ground up, these devices will form a new product segment that In-Stat/MDR calls the “Business Gateway.”

The Business Gateway will be a modular, standards-based device, offering “office-in-a-box” voice and data solutions for small businesses and enterprise branch offices. In-Stat/MDR forecasts the Business Gateway market to grow from $1.2 billion in 2004 to $16.6 billion in 2008. In the process, turning the networking equipment industry upside down.
