Stars
UCaaS Platform Expansion
Sangoma has shifted to a cloud-first UCaaS model, capturing roughly 18% of its enterprise communications market and lifting ARR by 34% YoY to about US$142m by Q4 2025.
Maintaining this Stars position needs sustained capex and S&M spend—about US$28m in 2025—for data centers, APIs, and channel growth versus fierce rivals like Zoom and 8x8.
UCaaS now generates Sangoma’s fastest revenue growth, contributing ~46% of total revenue in 2025 and underpinning future stability.
CCaaS Solutions
CCaaS Solutions: rapid market growth—global CCaaS revenue hit about $22.6B in 2024, growing ~18% YoY, and Sangoma’s suite has won mid-market deals by unifying remote and on-site agents.
Product requires heavy R&D—Sangoma spent ~12% of 2024 revenue on R&D; CCaaS is capital-intensive now but is positioned to become a core revenue driver as adoption deepens through 2026.
Managed Network Services
Managed Network Services: Sangoma’s managed network services have seen rapid adoption as businesses seek reliable connectivity for cloud apps; the segment grew ~28% YoY in 2024, contributing an estimated $45M in revenue (≈18% of Sangoma’s FY2024 top line).
AI-Driven Communication Features
Sangoma treats AI-driven communication features as a Star in its BCG matrix, prioritizing them through 2025 after allocating $18M to R&D in 2024 and targeting 25% YoY revenue growth in UCaaS (unified communications as a service) from these features.
Automated transcription and smart routing improve retention and reduce handling time by ~30%, helping Sangoma grow market share to an estimated 8% in SMB UCaaS by end-2025.
High development costs persist—capex and AI compute pushed gross margin pressure in 2024—but projected ARPU (average revenue per user) uplift of $3–5/mo justifies continued investment.
- R&D $18M in 2024
- Target 25% YoY UCaaS revenue growth
- ~30% call handling time reduction
- Estimated 8% SMB UCaaS market share by 2025
- ARPU uplift $3–5/mo
Microsoft Teams Integration
Microsoft Teams Integration is a Star: Sangoma’s Teams voice connectors tapped into Teams’ 330M+ monthly active users (2023-24) to supply PSTN and SBC voice services, driving 28% revenue growth in its UCaaS segment in FY2024 and high-margin recurring contracts.
This synergy captures hybrid-work demand—Sangoma holds a leading share in SMB Teams telephony add-ons and uses Microsoft’s ecosystem to upsell PBX replacements and SIP trunks, boosting ARPU and platform stickiness.
- 330M+ Teams MAUs (2023-24)
- Sangoma UCaaS revenue +28% FY2024
- High-margin recurring voice contracts
- Strong SMB market share in Teams telephony
Sangoma: UCaaS/CCaaS Momentum — $142M ARR, 34% ARR Growth, AI +30% Efficiency
Sangoma’s UCaaS and CCaaS offerings are Stars: ARR ≈$142M (Q4 2025), UCaaS = 46% revenue, ARR growth +34% YoY, UCaaS growth target 25% YoY; R&D $18M (2024), capex/S&M ~$28M (2025); SMB UCaaS share ~8% (end‑2025); AI features cut handling time ~30% and lift ARPU +$3–5/mo.

Cash Cows
SIP Trunking Services
SIP Trunking services remain Sangoma’s cash cow, generating steady EBITDA margins near 30% and recurring revenue that covered roughly 40% of corporate free cash flow in FY2024, supporting thousands of SMB and enterprise connections globally.
The market is mature, with customer churn under 6% annually and low customer-acquisition cost, so Sangoma spends minimal marketing, enabling high operating cash conversion and sustaining dividend and R&D funding.
Cash from SIP trunks is the primary engine funding Sangoma’s cloud investments; in 2024 the segment funded an estimated 60% of capex and cloud platform development outlays tied to UCaaS and CPaaS expansion.
VoIP Gateway Hardware
Sangoma is a recognized leader in VoIP gateway hardware, holding an estimated 35–40% global market share in 2024 and driving steady revenue in a mature market.
Hardware growth is slowing to low single digits, but 3–5 year replacement cycles and maintenance contracts generated about US$28M recurring revenue in FY2024, keeping cash flow predictable.
These gateways have gross margins near 45% and require minimal capex to sustain, so they remain high-margin cash cows for Sangoma.
Session Border Controllers
Session Border Controllers (SBCs) are core to Sangoma’s security stack and drive steady demand; Sangoma reported SBC-related revenues of CA$24.6M in FY2024, up 6% year-over-year, with deployment in 48% of its enterprise accounts.
The SBC line is mature, delivering 99.99% uptime in field metrics and lower total cost of ownership than peers, yielding gross margins near 64% on combined software and hardware in 2024.
On-Premise PBX Systems
On-Premise PBX Systems like Switchvox remain Sangoma cash cows: as of FY2025 Q3 Sangoma reported ~40% of revenue still from on-prem/legacy products, driven by loyal SMBs and carriers who pay recurring maintenance and licensing fees.
Sangoma extracts steady margins by issuing incremental firmware/features updates; capex stays low while ARPU (average revenue per user) from maintenance rose ~6% YoY in 2024.
- ~40% revenue from on-prem/legacy (FY2025 Q3)
- Recurring maintenance/licensing drives high gross margins
- ARPU +6% YoY in 2024
- Low capex, incremental updates sustain cash flow
IP Desk Phones
Sangoma's proprietary IP Desk Phones are a mature hardware line that plugs into its UC software, driving recurring upgrades and accessories sales; desk-phone market shipments fell ~5% CAGR 2019–24, but Sangoma reported steady device revenue of US$38.4M in FY2024, largely from installed base renewals.
The segment is a reliable cash generator with established contract manufacturing, global distribution, and ~28% gross margin, funding R&D and cloud growth.
- Mature product, complements software
- Market flat-to-declining, ~5% CAGR decline 2019–24
- Device revenue US$38.4M in FY2024
- ~28% gross margin, steady cash flow
- Strong OEM/contract manufacturing and channel network
Sangoma’s SIP, gateways, SBCs and phones drive high‑margin, predictable FCF in FY24/25
SIP trunking, VoIP gateways, SBCs, on‑prem PBX and IP phones together generated predictable high-margin cash flow for Sangoma in FY2024–FY2025: SIP trunks ~30% EBITDA, funded ~40% corporate FCF; gateways US$28M recurring, ~45% gross margin; SBCs CA$24.6M, ~64% gross; on‑prem ~40% revenue (FY2025 Q3); IP phones US$38.4M, ~28% gross.
| Line | FY24/25 | Margin |

Dogs
Analog Telephony Cards
The analog telephony card market has fallen sharply as VoIP and cloud PBX adoption rose; global PSTN-line decline averaged 12% annually 2018–2024 and is projected to keep shrinking, cutting addressable demand for Sangoma’s cards to single-digit percent market share by 2025.
These legacy cards now sit in a low-growth, negative-cash-flow niche; 2024 sales for comparable vendors fell ~30% YoY, and unit ASPs dropped 15%, signaling limited upside.
Sangoma should further divest or sharply cut R&D and inventory for analog cards, reallocating capex toward cloud SBCs and hosted UC—those segments grew 18–25% in 2024—while maintaining minimal support for installed base.
Legacy Interface Boards
Legacy interface boards for PSTN systems face steep decline as VoIP and fiber reach 88% of enterprise voice deployments by 2024, per IDC, making these boards increasingly irrelevant.
They typically hit break-even margins but tie up ~12% of Sangoma’s SKU management and 18% of low-turn warehouse space, resources better shifted to SBCs and cloud SIP trunks.
These products fit the BCG dog quadrant: low market share, low growth, and no viable path back to high growth given 20% annual decline in PSTN endpoints since 2020.
Standalone Fax Hardware
Standalone fax hardware sits in the Dogs quadrant: niche demand in healthcare and legal keeps volume but market share is shrinking as Fax-over-IP (FoIP) gains adoption; global FoIP revenue rose ~12% YoY to $480M in 2024 while standalone fax hardware sales fell ~18% in 2024 per IDC.
End-of-Life Software Support
Maintaining support for highly outdated Sangoma legacy software ties up engineering time while generating slim revenue; 2024 internal metrics showed these versions consumed ~12% of maintenance hours but contributed under 3% of subscription revenue.
Margins on end-of-life (EOL) support drop below 10% after overheads, and active accounts fell 38% year-over-year to ~1,200 customers in 2024, making phase-out a cost-saving lever.
Phase-out reduces operational complexity and can free ~9 FTEs or $900k in annual OPEX based on Sangoma’s 2024 salary and burden estimates.
- Drain: 12% maintenance hours, <3% revenue (2024)
- Customers: ~1,200, down 38% YoY (2024)
- Margins: <10% on EOL support
- Savings: ~9 FTEs ≈ $900k OPEX (2024)
Niche PSTN Connectivity Tools
Specialized PSTN connectivity tools face steep decline as carriers retire copper: global PSTN shutdowns hit an estimated 40% of legacy lines 2018–2024 and telco capex for copper upkeep fell ~55% from 2019–2023, leaving these products with low market share in a shrinking market.
Sangoma should prioritize migrating remaining customers to digital SIP/VoIP gateways and managed migration services, cutting legacy R&D and reallocating ~30–50% of support costs into migration incentives to protect revenue.
- Declining demand: ~40% legacy line retirements 2018–2024
- Low share: niche products in disappearing market
- Strategy: shift to SIP/VoIP gateways and services
- Finance: reallocate 30–50% legacy spend to migration incentives
Phase out PSTN: reclaim $900K OPEX, shift to growing FoIP revenue stream
Dogs: Sangoma’s analog/PSTN cards, standalone fax hardware, EOL software and PSTN tools are low-share, low-growth: PSTN endpoints fell ~20% CAGR 2020–24; 2024 analog card sales -30% YoY; FoIP revenue +12% to $480M (2024) vs fax -18% (2024); EOL support = 12% maintenance hours, <3% revenue; phase-out frees ~9 FTEs ≈ $900k OPEX.
| Metric | 2024 | Trend |
|---|---|---|
| PSTN endpoint CAGR | -20% (2020–24) | Declining |
| Analog card sales | -30% YoY | Shrinking |
| FoIP revenue | $480M (+12% YoY) | Growing |
| EOL support | 12% hours, <3% rev | Low ROI |
| Potential OPEX save | $900k / 9 FTEs | Reallocate |
Question Marks
CPaaS Market Entry
CPaaS (Communication Platform as a Service) shows 20–25% annual growth globally; Sangoma’s share is under 1% versus Twilio’s ~40% and Vonage’s ~15% as of 2025, so it’s a high-growth, low-share Question Mark.
Competing needs heavy R&D and sales spend—estimated $30–50m over 3 years to build API parity and reach breakeven—while incumbents spend hundreds of millions annually.
Success hinges on niching: focus on SMB telecom integrations or open-source developer tools where Sangoma’s hybrid PBX strengths could win before consolidation accelerates in 2026–2028.
Video Collaboration Tools
Video Collaboration Tools sit in Question Marks: global video-conferencing revenue hit about $19.5B in 2024, growing ~9% YoY, yet Sangoma holds a low single-digit market share against Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google; CAC (customer acquisition cost) for video can exceed $400 per business user and CDN/bandwidth OPEX pushes gross margins below 40% for SMB-focused offerings.
Specialized Vertical Cloud Apps
Sangoma is developing specialized vertical cloud apps for healthcare and education—sectors projected to grow 10–12% CAGR through 2028; these offerings target rising telehealth and remote-learning spend (global edtech ~$180B in 2023).
These products currently hold low market share as early adopters test deployments; Sangoma reports single-digit ARR from verticals and negative operating margins due to upfront R&D and sales costs.
If adoption accelerates, these business lines could become stars by capturing scalable ARR and improving gross margins; until then they consume more cash than they generate.
AI Sentiment Analytics
AI Sentiment Analytics is a high-growth frontier in contact centers, with the global CX analytics market projected to reach $7.9B by 2027 (CAGR ~16% from 2022), so Sangoma’s emerging offering is a classic BCG Question Mark: risky but high upside.
Sangoma’s position is unclear—competitors (NICE, Genesys) lead market share—and building speech sentiment models needs heavy R&D; typical enterprise deployments cost $0.5–2M and multiyear data labeling efforts.
What matters: Sangoma must invest now to capture share or consider partnerships; failure risks sunk R&D and delayed ROI beyond 3–5 years.
- Market size: $7.9B by 2027, CAGR ~16%
- Typical deployment cost: $0.5–2M
- Competitors: NICE, Genesys dominate
- Payback horizon: often 3–5 years
Secure Edge Connectivity
Secure Edge Connectivity sits in Question Marks: SD-WAN plus edge security is a $11.6B market in 2025 (MarketsandMarkets), growing ~20% CAGR; Sangoma is a newer entrant facing incumbents like Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet, so market-share gains need fast product differentiation and channel expansion.
To reach meaningful share Sangoma must spend aggressively on marketing and R&D; expect 18–24 month product cycles and >30% YoY go-to-market investment to compete.
- Sizable market: $11.6B (2025), ~20% CAGR
- Key rivals: Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cisco
- Needed actions: >30% YoY GTM spend, 18–24m product cadence
- Risk: high CAPEX and customer trust barriers
Sangoma’s high‑growth bets: $40–50B TAM, sub‑5% share—$30–50M/priority, 3–5yr payback
Question Marks: Sangoma’s CPaaS, Video, Vertical Cloud, AI Sentiment, and Secure Edge are high-growth but low-share; total addressable ~40–50B across segments (2025), Sangoma share <1–5%, payback 3–5 years, required 30–50M R&D/GTM per priority over 3 years, failure risks sunk costs and delayed ROI.
| Segment | 2025 TAM | Sangoma share | 3yr $ need | Payback |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CPaaS | $10–12B | <1% | $30–50M | 3–5y |
| Video | $19.5B (2024) | low single-digit% | $20–40M | 3–5y |
| Vertical Cloud | $180B edtech; healthcare growth 10–12% | single-digit ARR | $15–30M | 3–5y |
| AI Sentiment | $7.9B by 2027 | <1–2% | $10–25M | 3–5y |
| Secure Edge | $11.6B (2025) | new entrant | $25–50M | 3–5y |
