Global Internet Traffic Growth % % % % % Global Mobile Data Traffic Growth % % % 2011 (estimate)131% 2012 (estimate)113% Cisco VNI Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast ; Feb2011 Transition to LTE will increase capacity through more spectrum and better spectral efficiency…but these gains cannot keep up with the increasing demand. Small cells will be a necessary part of the evolution to achieve the projected 26x increase in capacity required by 2015 Traffic growth and historic gains for wireless networks
