Mobile Data Traffic and Network Market Report

Traffic and Market Report

On the pulse of the Networked Society

Ericsson has performed in-depth data traffic measurements since the early days of mobile broadband from a large base of live networks covering all regions of the world.

The aim of this report is to share analysis based on these measurements, internal forecasts and other relevant studies to provide insights into the current traffic and market trends.

We will continue to share traffic and market data, along with our analysis, on a regular basis. We hope you find it engaging and valuable.

The Interim Report published August 2012 is a scheduled update to some sections of the Ericsson Traffic and Market Report, that was released in June 2012.
