GVF Connectivity 2017 Serving the next generation customers, extending the demarcation 2015 Comtech EF Data Corp.
The Challenge (Cisco VNI Mobile Traffic Feb. 2017) MEA mobile data traffic grew 96% in 2016 and will grow 12-fold until 2021, surpassing NAM traffic LTE devices carried 69% of all mobile traffic in 2016 and will surpass 2G & 3G connected devices in 2017 87% of all handsets will be smartphones in 2021 Smartphones will carry 52% of IP traffic in 2021 Fixed (Desktop) IP traffic is today less than 50%
What does these figures mean? Wireless (WiFi & LTE) is the standard for Broadband connectivity Smartphone will be the Internet terminal of choice for personal and business usage Be prepare to scale exponentially: traffic x 12 next 5 years Number of users x 4 Average traffic per user x 3: MEA from 3.8 Mb/s average per handset today up to 10.8 Mb/s per handset in 2021 Evolving from Broadband (1 Mb/s DL) to Ultra-BB (10-20 Mb/s DL)
What is the impact on delivering satellite services? Is the solution still individual satellite access point ending at the ethernet port? Or is it rather shared access through Hybrid LTE satellite backhaul ending within the users device? LTE/WiFi Terminal
And consider, where (and what) is the demarcation point? From An equipment uptime & link availability model To A User Experience and application behavior model
Aspects that count. Spectrum efficiency (OPEX) Aggregation and sharing of last mile bandwidth through LTE enables more efficient satellite backhaul solution Maintenance and Operation Aggregated sites results in fewer large vs many dedicated Single, reducing the operational field expenses, enhancing reliability and performance Integrated Application Optimisation Users expect terrestrial-like service in terms of speed (bandwidth) and response time (web browsing) for content delivery, less tolerant to contention QoE is the driver for successful service delivery today Coverage & Availability: Service Anytime, Everywhere. Ability to access information indoor at home or office (fixed) and on the move (outdoor) with the same device
