Bytemobile Forecasts Video to be more than 60% of Total Mobile Traffic in 2011

  

Bytemobile data "shows that video became the dominant form of mobile data traffic in 2010 – accounting for more than 40 percent of the total volume in wireless networks worldwide. With the rise of full-length and studio-quality videos and live streaming of multimedia content on mobile devices – as well as the emergence of two-way video communications – Bytemobile expects mobile data traffic to spike to an all-time high in 2011".

"Video-based content will account for over 60% of network traffic, up from approximately 40% in 2010 .. Personal video communications will dominate wireless network capacity, such that 10% of subscribers consume 90% of total network traffic .. Operators will add “Smart Capacity” solutions to both the data centers and the packet core of their networks to better utilize capacity for rising traffic demand. These solutions combine caching, content filtering, policy enforcement, access control, and capacity control points to create smarter networks for managing existing capacity".

Allot said last September that "video streaming applications continue to dominate the global mobile bandwidth scene and remain the largest consumer of bandwidth with a 35% share" (See "Allot: Mobile Traffic Grew by 68%, Video Streaming by 92%" - here).
