Mobile data traffic to double every year through 2013
Globally, mobile data traffic will double every year through 2013, increasing 66 times between 2008 and 2013, according to Cisco System’s Visual Networking Index, a global mobile data traffic forecast. In order to deploy next-generation mobile networks, there is a greater need for service portability and interoperability. With the proliferation of mobile and portable digital devices, there is an imminent need for the network to allow for all these devices to be connected seamlessly. Mobile broadband handsets with higher than 3G speeds and laptop aircards will drive over 80 percent of global mobile traffic by 2013, the study found. A single high-end phone like the iPhone or BlackBerry generates more data traffic than 30 basic-feature mobile phones. The study also found that a laptop aircard generates more data traffic than 450 basic-feature mobile phones.
