Future predictions are for total mobk data capacty demand of anywhere between 70 and 50 Imes within 5 years. The greatest demand both today aid in the future s concentrated in the dense urban areas. Whle operators have gust about been able to keep up so far (some less so than others), there is wide recogntbn that somethng radc.a we have to change to delver the capacty requitd. And is not gust about more capacity per se, it's tout the overal speed and (warty of service each customer percewes. Customers want to use the hgher speeds possble wth 3.5G and 16 for refiabk use of video and other hgh speed services. These requre robust, fad data conrectiety everywhere we go - whether outside on the street, Ind* our offices, shops or transport hubs. The capacty problem s most noticeably n the dense urban areas rather than sparsely populated rurai areas, and is only gong to get worse. Akhough the total network capacty might grow SOx overal, some peak trafft traffic hotspots are forecast to need 500x or even 1000x n extreme cases. 3 Tweet 3 Men The laws of physics set some constraints The laws of physics provde for three man ways to ',crease total throughput: 1. Add extra spectrum. If avalatile, a staple capacty upgrade at hgh traffic basedations, by addng some extra cards, may be al that's required.
