Ericsson predicts Mobile Data Traffic to grow 10-fold by 2016
2011-nov-07
New report from Ericsson says mobile data traffic will grow 10-fold between 2011 and 2016, mainly driven by video. Mobile broadband subscriptions grew by 60 percent in one year and are expected to grow from 900 million in 2011 to almost 5 billion in 2016. By 2016, users living on less than 1 percent of the Earth's total land area are set to generate around 60 percent of mobile traffic
In its new Traffic and Market Data report, which provides insights into current trends, Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) forecasts a 10-fold increase in mobile data traffic by 2016. The report is based on measurements the company recorded over several years in live networks covering all regions of the world.
Johan Wibergh, Head of Ericsson Business Unit Networks, says: "Ericsson performs a broad range of measurements in order to monitor the pulse of the Networked Society - measurements that we use to efficiently design our products and plan networks. This report offers snapshots that, together, show how a growing number of people and businesses benefit from mobility, broadband and the cloud."

Singapore, Stockholm and Seoul top-ranked in Ericsson's Networked Society City Index
2011-maj-11
Ericsson and Arthur D. Little present the Networked Society City Index, ranking 25 cities according to ICT maturity and development. By showing how top-performing cities successfully use ICT to grow, Ericsson aims to inspire and contribute to a global Networked Society. City mayors, local authorities and decision makers can use the framework ranking to meet the growing urbanization trend and enable organizational and societal success
The Networked Society City Index - established through a joint study conducted by Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) and management consultancy Arthur D. Little and presented on May 10 at Ericsson's Business Innovation Forum in Silicon Valley in the US - shows that cities with a high level of ICT maturity are better able to manage issues such as environmental management, infrastructure, public security, health-care quality and education.
The three best-performing cities presented in the index - Singapore, Stockholm and Seoul - have successfully met many social, economic and environmental targets by making extensive investments in ICT. Singapore, for example, is aggressively driving innovation in e-health, and is a pioneer in traffic-congestion management. Stockholm sees ICT as a major enabler for research collaboration and knowledge transfer, while Seoul is using ICT to realize green high-tech initiatives.
