Mobile Phone Traffic To Grow Tenfold By 2019, Says Cisco

If everyone has a smartphone, just maybe, will soon begin to call phones.Cisco Systems has released its forecast for the year, for several years the global mobile data traffic. This, for the years 2014-2019, is what has become the usual cell growth forecast traffic ten times in the period in this case to 24.3 exabytes per month. An exabyte is a billion gigabytes.

Digging into the numbers, some important factors as causes of growth.For suffered one in 2019, 69 percent of the world population, or 5.2 billion people, are expected to be mobile users are observed. Of that number, there will be 4.6 billion smartphones, up from 3.1 billion feature phones. Clearly, many people have more than one phone. The study also covered connected devices such as tablets and laptop with Wi-Fi, Cisco said it was likely to recover the share of tablets.

The growth of smartphones is interesting not only because it will be the type of phone mostly around 2018; smart devices tend to use more data, so that 97 percent of the total global traffic will be smart devices. Video should be particularly large bandwidth hog: 72 percent of mobile traffic will be video, Cisco said.Another important development is the amount and type of traffic that is downloaded from the traditional cellular systems wifi and small cell networks .

Cisco said that 54 percent of mobile data traffic will in these systems, which keep the carriers of congestion, but also prevent the realization of some benefit, since they can not pay for the same wifi connection way.We see 24.3 exabytes per month of mobile worldwide in 2019, but 29 exabytes per month in wifi, said Thomas Barnett jnr, the Cisco employee who led the study.By 2018 the number of minutes of voice over WiFi systems could overcome LTE or the traditional digital voice traffic for charge carriers said.
