Reportlinker Adds Mobile Traffic Growth+Cost Pressures=New Solutions?

NEW YORK, Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Mobile Traffic Growth+Cost Pressures=New Solutions?

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0172661/Mobile-Traffic-Growth+Cost-Pressures=New-Solutions.html

• Mobile voice is still growing and broadband usage is exploding. Mobile Broadband usage already up to 1.4 Gbytes per month and >30% of all broadband in leading countries.
• Data wave turns into a tsunami. Consumers' usage is changing with on demand media taking a more prominent role in consumption.
• Capacity & coverage crunch. Current 3G/HSPA networks built for voice and low speed data are likely to be overwhelmed by data demand and will fail to meet customers wide area service needs.
• Fragile business case for network build – cost per subscriber could increase 100%. Using current techniques, network build would be costly and in many cases uneconomic in the long term as new investment in cells will be required to support rapidly increasing mobile broadband traffic demand.
• New solutions come to the rescue. Network sharing, femtocells, sophisticated tariffing and spectrum refarming all have a key role to play in bringing down network build costs and making network expansion economically feasible.
• Scalable backhaul networks. To remain cost competitive with mobile broadband, operators need to move to transport solutions that break the link between capacity and cost.
• The distinction between fixed and mobile will blur. Customers will buy a wide area mobility service but this may be delivered by a combination of fixed and mobile.
• Embracing new ways will be key for cost effective growth. Successful operators and suppliers will have already recognised the approaching capacity chasm and already be implementing new solutions and products to address the changing market.
