Mobile data from smart devices to spurt 10,000 percent by 2015 |
|
|
Nokia Siemens Networks has predicted that by 2015, annual mobile data traffic will reach 23 Exabytes, equivalent to 6.3 billion people each downloading a digital book every day. Thinking along those lines, it says pure capacity is just one issue, however, as the unique properties of mobility, such as intermittent connectivity and shifting location and an increasing range of smart devices will require mobile broadband networks to be far more intelligent in their handling of traffic growth.  Rajeev Suri, CEO of Nokia Siemens Networks outlined the changes needed by mobile operators to cope with this predicted humongous rise in mobile traffic driven by the proliferation of smart devices. Speaking to the press and industry analysts at the annual Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Suri cautioned that the blunt “just add capacity” approach used by a number of vendors is likely to eventually bring most networks to a grinding halt.
The company, in a statement, also said that having predicted the current surge in smart mobile devices, it built into its networks an industry standard that allows for the reduction of congestion-generating unprofitable signaling by three times. This is also said to improve device battery life. Its participation at the Mobile World Congress this year has revolved around three themes - Relationships built around insight, solutions built around your business, and a network built around individuals - The Network of One. At the conference, it enabled Telefónica to present a live demonstration of the futuristic LTE (4G mobile broadband), and also demonstrated HSPA+, a 3.5G mobile broadband technology, at speeds of 112Mbps using Qualcomm terminals. A few days ago, the company conducted a call using a network technology known as “continuous packet connectivity” (CPC), which once incorporated into HSPA+ networks via a simple software upgrade, can double device battery life. |
