Overview
Digital communications via the internet now handles everything from simple telephone calls to complex cloud computing. Consumers have grown to expect a whole range of data-driven services, from immersive virtual reality entertainment to the ever-present smart assistants. Industrial users have also embraced high-speed data services with the rapid growth of the Internet of Things, the network of connected devices that communicate without user intervention. Add to this the latest developments in artificial intelligence (AI) that are revolutionizing almost all markets, from factory automation to automotive connectivity, the sky’s the limit on the requirement for the telecommunications network.
The latest estimates indicate that there will be more than 36 billion IoT-enabled devices by 2025, further driving the demand for data capacity. Global data traffic from mobile devices alone is predicted to reach nearly 300 exabytes per month (300 thousand billion gigabytes) by 2027. The telecommunications industry controls a vast array of cables, connections, computing, and storage equipment, as well as the connected devices themselves.
