Abstract
Relentless volume of data increase – Even though it may seem a bit extreme, stating that the amount of data travelling over the network has been seamlessly increasing since when an actual telecom infrastructure exists, does not fall far from being exact. Starting with some data, back in 2016 the mobile data traffic in Western Europe was forecasted to ramp from 740 PB/month (Petabyte) in the same year (real data) up to 4.2 EB/month (Exabyte) in 2021 (forecasted data)Footnote1. It must be highlighted that these numbers, given the timeframe, fall under 4G-LTE (Long-Term Evolution).File in questo prodotto:
