According to the telecom equipment maker Ericsson, the mobile data represents only 10% of subscriptions but its consumption is growing very rapidly, and currently 10 times faster than mobile voice.
The arrival of mobile data plans "unlimited" and smartphones in the range of affordability is currently exploding mobile data traffic and the arrival of mobile broadband, which will expand the uses of video on mobile phone will further increase this trend in coming years.
But already, the mobile data traffic is moving very quickly. According to Swedish equipment supplier Ericsson, the volume of the latter has almost tripled compared to last year, benefiting from very strong trend for smartphones and packages that accompany them.
And while mobile broadband covers only 10% of mobile subscriptions, the OEM notes that the growth of mobile data consumption is currently 10 times larger than that of voice.
2000000 Ericsson base stations in the world
Ericsson had already noted a surge in mobile data in the month of December 2009, the volume was then passed for the first time that voice. The average monthly consumption data on mobile networks would thus be 225,000 terabytes in the first quarter of 2010.
At the same time, the supplier said it had installed its 2 millionth base station (model 6000 Ericsson RBS multimode 2G, 3G and LTE) and indicates that its equipment connect 1.5 billion subscribers worldwide.
Even more impressive, and witnessed the evolution of the telecom market, Ericsson said it took 20 years to pass the million mark of installed base stations (this was in 2007) but only three years to get one of two million units.
