Cisco: Mobile data traffic increased 2011-fold worldwide from 2016 to 18
In 2016, 130 exabytes will be transmitted via mobile devices
Global mobile data traffic grew eighteen-fold from 2011 to 2016. Then nearly 10,8 exabytes are transferred every month. An exabyte is a trillion bytes, a one with 18 zeros. The annual mobile data transmission of 130 exabytes corresponds to the capacity of 33 billion DVDs or 813 trillion SMS. This has been determined by the new Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI) Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast. The growth is mainly due to the increase in Internet-enabled mobile devices. In 2016, the number of more than 10 billion will exceed the 7,3 billion people living on earth. In four years' time, 177 billion instead of the current 116 billion mobile devices will be in use in Germany.
Achim Kaspar, General Manager Cisco Austria: "More and more people around the world and also in Austria are using the Internet via mobile devices, and the ability to access cloud services and videos is increasing. The performance of the devices is also continuously increasing, and this is increasing the data volume on the Internet. Since networks are the basis for all applications, providers must now ensure a stable and secure infrastructure that can be adapted to rapid developments. "
Steep ascent
The average annual growth rate of global mobile data traffic from 2011 to 2016 was 78 percent. The growth from 2015 to 2016 alone will be around three times the total estimated mobile Internet traffic in 2012. In the period from 2011 to 2016, mobile traffic will grow three times faster than data transfer over fixed lines. This growth is driven by the following factors:
- Mobile cloud traffic is increasing 28-fold with an annual growth rate of 95 percent, its share in total mobile data traffic increases from 45 to 71 percent
- In four years there will be more than 10 billion internet-enabled mobile devices, including machine communication (M2M)
- More powerful mobile devices, especially tablet PCs, can transfer more and more data
- The speed of mobile networks will increase nine times and allow correspondingly higher transfer rates
- The share of videos in mobile data traffic will increase to more than 2016 percent by 70
further results
In four years, 71 percent of all smartphones and tablet PCs will be able to use Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6); in total, it will be 39 percent of all mobile devices. The Middle East and Africa will show the highest growth in mobile data traffic with an increase of 36-fold, followed by the Asia-Pacific region as well as Central and Eastern Europe (21-fold each), Latin America (18-fold), and North America (17-fold) -fach) and Western Europe (14-fold).
About the Study
The Cisco VNI Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast is based on independent forecasts from analysts and measured values for mobile data transmission. Based on this, Cisco has made its own estimates for the acceptance of mobile applications as well as the usage and data transmission rates. This included figures for mobile broadband speed and device performance.
