Mitel has surpassed Avaya and Cisco to seize the #1 market share position in the UK in the IP extensions market, according to the most recent quarterly market share report from MZA Ltd.

"After several quarters of solid progress, in Q2 Mitel claimed more than 26 percent of the market for IP extension shipments in the UK to take the #1 market share position," said Stephanie Watson, general manager of MZA Ltd. The report is based on shipments from Q2 2012 ended June 30 2012.

Graham Bevington, executive vice president, International Markets, Mitel, commented, "Our market share growth is a genuine reflection of how we have listened and responded to the needs of our customers and the commitment and dedication of our channel partners. Recognition must also go to the entire Mitel UK team, it clearly indicates we are doing the right things and evolving solutions in line with customer demand."

Commenting on Mitel's global presence, Ms. Watson said: "Mitel's growth in the UK parallels the solid market share strength we have seen in recent quarters across other territories including the U.S., Canada, Australia and the Netherlands where they consistently rank as one of the leading IP vendors. The company's open architecture and industry leadership in key technologies like virtualisation resonates well with organisations that are increasingly looking for more value and collaboration capabilities from their communications systems."
