The research shows that the market expanded by more than 25 percent in the third quarter of 2010 compared with the same prior year period and surpassed $1.5 billion. Cisco Systems improved its market share lead in the third quarter, while Alcatel-Lucent overtook Juniper Networks for the second position.
