More Mobile-Ready Devices and Mobile Video to Fuel 39-Fold Global Growth from 2009-2014
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - February 9, 2010) - Cisco (
The research projects that annual global mobile data traffic will reach 3.6 exabytes per month or an annual run rate of 40 exabytes by 2014. Such a figure equates to a 39-fold increase from 2009 to 2014, or a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 108 percent.
Two major global trends are driving this increase -- the proliferation of mobile-ready devices and widespread mobile video content consumption. By 2014, there will be over 5 billion personal devices connecting to mobile networks -- and billions more machine-to-machine nodes. Mobile video will represent 66 percent of all mobile data traffic by 2014, increasing 66-fold from 2009 to 2014 -- the highest growth rate of any mobile data application tracked in the Cisco VNI Global Mobile Data Forecast.
