Global Telecoms Trends for 2017 - Fibre Networks, LTE, 5G, Video Streaming, Smart Nations - Research and Markets
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global
Telecoms Trends for 2017 - Fibre Networks, LTE, 5G, Video Streaming,
Smart Nations" report to their offering.
The global telecoms sector continues its transformation process as
infrastructure improvements to both mobile and broadband technologies
continue. The operators are continuously seeking new revenue streams
relating to the apps and services generated by these technologies and
video streaming continues to be a key area of focus. Developments
relating to IoT and M2M will continue to emerge in 2017 which will
ultimately lead us to the smart cities of the future. This report
explores the key global trends impacting upon the telecoms sector in
2017 and beyond, supported by valuable analyses, examples and key
statistics.
Key developments:
FttX held only a 22% market share of global broadband access
technologies in 2013, but by 2016 this had increased to around 47% at
the expense of DSL which is in decline.
- With the improved coverage and penetration of LTE (News - Alert) as well as the
massive adoption of smartphones, VoLTE has become a priority throughout
the world for operators that wish to bring HD voice service to heir LTE
customers. Nevertheless, while VoLTE services certainly offer
opportunities, Over-The-Top (OTT) mobile VoIP services will attract the
largest revenue market shares, at least in the short and medium term.
- Key developments for 2017 include M2M and IoT infrastructure,
facilitating the development of smart homes, buildings and cities. Many
of these applications will be opened up partly through the use of 4G LTE
A(dvanced) - a halfway house on the way to full 5G.
- LTE Broadcast, or LTE-B, also known as Multimedia Broadcast Multicast
Service (eMBMS) took a step further in late April 2016 with the
announcement that Verizon, Telstra, KT (News - Alert) (South Korea) and EE (United
Kingdom) had formed the LTE-B Alliance. The alliance hopes to encourage
further operators to join the push for LTE-B - and in particular to
encourage device manufacturers to begin making devices LTE-B compatible
in 2017.
- The use of millimetre wave spectrum for 5G took a significant step
forward in mid July with the US becoming the first country to designate
rules for its usage. Millimetre waves can be beamed through ultra-high
speeds (Gb/s), enabling mass-content-storage applications, which are not
possible over the current mobile networks. The FCC (News - Alert) has adopted the new
rules which will open up the millimetre wave spectrum.
