MWC 2012 goes down in history, not in flames
1. MWC 2012 Goes Down in History, Not in Flames
Posted by krosenth Mar 1, 2012
Well, another Mobile World Congress is in the history books, and despite the strikes and civil unrest that
plagued Barcelona this past week, this one has to go down as one of the best for Cisco.
We started off the run-up to MWC in London with our annual Cisco VNI Global Mobile Data Traffic
Forecast, 2011 - 2016, which predicted that within the next five years ...
ďˇ Global mobile data traffic will grow 18-fold to reach 10.8 exabytes per month
ďˇ Mobile video will represent 71% of all mobile data traffic.
ďˇ 22% of global mobile data traffic will be offloaded to fixed networks.
ďˇ Tablets will account for more than 10% of global mobile data traffic.
ďˇ 4G connections will account for 36% of global mobile data traffic
Of course, these numbers attracted a good deal of attention, and mobile operators worldwide are
working diligently to keep up with skyrocketing demand. For example, since the VNI numbers were
released:
ďˇ Hungary's Magyar Telekom, a Deutsche Telekom company, announced its 4G/LTE network,
using the Cisco ASR 5000 mobile multimedia core
ďˇ South Korea's LG U+ unveiled their new V2oLTE service, using the ASR 5000
ďˇ Vodafone Hungary talked with us about how they're using a Cisco next-generation mobile
network to monetize mobile traffic
ďˇ Telefonica Spain revealed a new mobile video pilot project, using Cisco's Mobile Videoscape
solution, which features the ASR 5000
ďˇ Bell Mobility completed the majority of its Western Canada 4G/LTE buildout with the ASR 5000
ďˇ And du, a leading integrated service provider in the UAE announced it is deploying a nationwide
4G/LTE network enabled by the ASR 5000
And while the Cisco ASR 5000 is certainly pulling its weight in the core, Cisco is extending its value to the
very edge of the network. At Mobile World Congress, Cisco CEO John Chambers declared âWe are now
entering the post-macrocell era, where small cells also will play a critical role in delivering the next-
generation mobile Internet.â
So on February 28 we announced the first carrier-grade, end-to-end, Wi-Fi infrastructure to incorporate
the Wireless Broadband Allianceâs Next Generation Hotspot (NGH) technology. With fully integrated
2. intelligence, from the ASR 5000 to the advanced access points, Cisco's small cell solution provides
mobile users with simple, seamless, and secure access across multiple heterogeneous access networks.
To dispel any doubts as to the solution's immediate viability or availability, we also announced that âŚ
ďˇ PCCW had successfully completed a commercial trial of our NGH solution
ďˇ Smart had conducted successful lab trials
ďˇ True had also seen success in lab trials of the solution
The new NGH technology is especially exciting because operators like BT and Shaw, who have already
deployed Ciscoâs Service Provider Wi-Fi solution across thousands of hotspots will now be able to offer
their mobile users a cellular-like experience on Wi-Fi.
To enable a highly flexible, highly economical, and highly efficient network that not only helps operators
reduce costs, but also enhances the user experience, is the best possible demonstration that indeed,
âItâs not what we make; itâs what we make possibleâ
