Network vendors will need to train Chinese channel partners to help them take advantage of what is likely to be massive growth in the China market for IP Telephony solutions.

The market for IP PBX is set to take off says industry analyst In-Stat in a report that claims the market will reach nearly half a billion US dollars by the end of the decade.

In-Stat says IP server-based PBX revenue in the Chinese market will grow from US$164.1 million in 2006 to US$479.5 million in 2010 as traditional PBX declines substantially over the forecast period.

As SME's begin to take advantage of the next generation Telephony solutions, traditional PBX revenues will plummet at a 31.8% negative CAGR though to 2010, says In-Stat.

The switch to VoIP will also put pressure on the country's existing corporate data networks driving demand for networking skills.

The traditional data network and voice network channels may not be suitable for IP voice services, suggests In-Stat meaning that vendors will need to train channel partners to meet their requirements.
