Network peering specialist XConnect said it saw a 61 percent increase in revenue across all services in 2011, driven in part by a booming video communications market and a spike in traffic across the company’s global network.

Business videoconferencing traffic growth is significantly outpacing overall business IP traffic, at a CAGR of 41 percent from 2010-2015, according to Cisco, which has projected a sixfold increase in videoconferencing traffic during that period.

Last year, XConnect launched the Video Interconnection Exchange (VIE), what it calls the world’s first neutral federation for video communications. It has since established strategic alliances with such video ecosystem players as BCS Global and IPV to expand the video community and in an effort to make video calling as easy as voice calling.

XConnect said it saw a 78 percent increase in the number of calls handled, and growth in the volume of queries to its global ENUM-based registry to 3 billion, up 78 percent. XConnect’s ENUM registry included 2.2 billion numbers at year’s end.

“Our continued investment in groundbreaking technology and solutions is paying off with satisfying uptake in XConnect services for one-stop interconnection across networks and platforms,” XConnect CEO Eli Katz said. “We continue to foresee rapid growth as video, high-definition (HD) voice and other next-generation services gain traction as more powerful devices and applications emerge almost daily.”

The company said that in 2012, it would focus on continuing to meet growing demands for sophisticated interconnection services this year, and it planned to create more national federations with interexchange services partners, such as the one formed last month with Germany’s DE-CIX, Katz said.

In 2012, XConnect also hopes to work with mobile network operators to integrate ENUM registry capabilities into the GSMA Rich Communications Suite (RCS-e) to enable operators to deliver instant messaging or chat, live video sharing, and file transfer across any device on any network and to benefit from growth of the over-the-top market to provide video and VoIP capabilities for social networks.

Plantronics (NYSE: PLT) Tuesday reported lower profit in its third quarter than a year ago, but still beat Wall Street’s expectations, setting UC revenue records along the way.

Net income for the quarter was $30.9 million, or 71 cents a share, down slightly from $31.6 million, or 64 cents a share a year ago. Adjusted net income was 75 cents per share, topping analyst’s forecasts of 68 cents per share, and topping last year’s adjusted income of 66 cents per share. The lower profits were primarily due to Plantronic buying back some 2.1 million shares.

Revenue, meanwhile was $183.2 million, up slightly from $181.6 million during the same period a year ago.

Plantronics said it expected a strong fourth quarter, forecasting revenue of between $175 million and $180 million for the quarter, with net income of 63-68 cents per share. Analysts expected revenue of $1877.6 million and adjusted earnings per share of 67 cents.

During yesterday’s earnings call, Ken Kannappan, Plantronics’ president and chief executive, said the company set a record in the quarter for UC revenue, which saw 90 percent growth due to rapid adoption of UC globally. The company also saw 8 percent growth in office and contact center revenue.

“We continue to see broad adoption of UC across all size of enterprises in all major geographies,” he said. “Our investments in UC continued to yield solid results. And in the first nine months of fiscal 2012, we made good progress in differentiating our product line, as well as making huge strides in our corporate marketing and brand positioning.”
