Enterprise router market improves in 3Q14; Cloud, economic expansion to drive growth in 2015 Boston, MASSACHUSETTS, December 9, 2014-Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its 3rd quarter 2014 (3Q14) Enterprise Routers report, which tracks high end, mid-range, branch office, and low-end/SOHO router revenue and ports. ANALYST NOTE "After a very weak second quarter, we saw improvements in enterprise router shipments in the third quarter of 2014. Revenue growth is still hampered due to lower selling prices and a shift toward low-end equipment. Driving the market forward is a resurging economy in the U.S. and the shift toward cloud architectures, which will put new pressure on the WAN and require companies to make investments," notes Matthias Machowinski, directing analyst for enterprise networks and video at Infonetics Research. 3Q14 ENTERPRISE ROUTER MARKET HIGHLIGHTS
