Mobile Broadband Traffic is Soaring Exponential Demand for Mobile Broadband Traffic • AT&T: 8X increase in data traffic between 2007 - 2010 coinciding with the launch of the iPhone • Cisco: 26x growth between 2010 – 2015, 65% will be video Capacity Inflation Point
Wi-Fi Overtakes ALL IP Networks in 2015 Fastest Growth is with Mobile, yet Wi-Fi will Carry Most of The Load • Mobile Traffic growth leads with 92% CAGR (Wired 24% CAGR, Wi-Fi 39% CAGR) • The biggest driver for the global traffic growth will be video The Death of Mobile? The Rise of Wi-Fi as a Viable Alternative to Mobile Cellular Networks , Cisco, November 2011
Wi-Fi is a User Driven Phenomena The User perspective • Low cost, unlicensed band and interoperability propels adoption • Wi-Fi-only tablets are here • Apple: iPhone 4S owners use twice as much data as iPhone 4 users and three times as much data as iPhone 3G ownersCNET Jan 2012 • Half of Smartphone usage is already on Wi-Fi Bango early 2011
Wi-Fi is Strategic to Cellular Operators The Service Provider perspective • Ubiquitous, low cost deployment • Wi-Fi will offload ~ 60% of mobile data traffic by 2015 Juniper 4/2011: • Hotspot number will grow from 1.3M in 2011 to 5.8M in 2015 Informa • 40 connections per sec. on AT&T Wi-Fi hot spot network on 3Q11 • 302 million Wi-Fi connections on 3Q12, 3 times more than last year • “47% of mobile operators: hotspots are crucial to enhance their customers’ experience”WBA Industry Report 2011 • Hot-zones in San-Francisco, London, Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo…
Wi-Fi Cellular Integration Standards 3GPP, IEEE, WFA, WBA • Wi-Fi integration with 3G – 2004 (3GPP I-WALN) • Ahead of its time • SIM Authentication • Wi-Fi integration with LTE – 2010 (3GPP LTE EPC core) • Common service delivery • WFA Hotspot 2.0 - Certification starts in mid 2012 • WBA and WFA initiative
Wi-Fi is Strategic to Cellular Operators Backhauling & joint LTE / Wi-Fi nodes • Micro cells backhaul • Small cells to drive over $1.5B in wireless BH by 2016 Mobile Experts, 10/2011 • 58% of outdoor small cells will be BH by wireless by 2016 ABI Research 9/2011 • Heterogeneous networks is the future • LTE + Wi-Fi micro cells HeTNET
