Ovum: CMTS Shipments Improve

Consulting firm Ovum has found that North American CMTS port shipments increased in the second quarter of 2009.

“Continuing demand for downstream capacity contributed to strong growth in downstream CMTS port shipments in North America," said Ovum analyst Kamalini Ganguly. "We estimate that for the first time ever, more than half of ports shipped were downstream ports."

Cisco dropped to 50 percent rolling 4Q market share in terms of ports shipped, followed by ARRIS whose share jumped to 35 percent and Motorola whose share grew to 13 percent.
