In this latest Mobility Report, Ericsson continues to describe the evolution towards the Networked Society.

Between 2015 and 2021, IoT is expected to increase at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23 percent, making up close to 16 billion of the total forecast 28 billion connected devices in 2021. LTE subscriptions grew at a high rate during Q1 2016. There were 150 million new subscriptions during the quarter, reaching a total of 1.2 billion worldwide.

Subscriptions associated with smartphones also continue to increase, and are expected to exceed those for basic phones in Q3 2016. The report includes four feature articles, exploring various aspects of the mobile industry.

  • First, into how microwave backhaul links can be used as accurate, high resolution rainfall measurement tools. Weather impacts almost everything people do, and accurate weather forecasts are vital.
  • The report also examines how teens drive the changing TV/video viewing behavior, which is moving from traditional TVs to streaming video on smartphones.
  • The article on managing user experience describes how high traffic load in less than a tenth of the mobile radio cells in metropolitan areas can affect more than half of the user activity over the course of 24 hours.
  • Finally, a discussion on the need for global spectrum harmonization to secure early 5G deployments.
