As the official network infrastructure supporter for London 2012, we're helping to make it the most connected Games ever. This means that Cisco's network infrastructure will underpin the delivery of the voice, video and data traffic for London 2012 that will be carried over BT's communications services network to the thousands of people o officiating, reporting, competing in or enjoying The Games.  We are also providing essential network infrastructure equipment that will support the Games time and administration applications on the LOCOG network. This includes network security appliances, routing and switching equipment, wireless access points and controllers, IP telephony, handsets and the call manager system via our Hosted Unified Collaboration Service (HUCS from BT).

Over 70% of mobile data will be video by 2016

Over 70% of mobile data will be video by 2016

February 15, 2012 Written by Jamie Beach

Worldwide mobile data traffic will increase 18-fold over the next five years and reach 10.8 exabytes (EB) per month by 2016, with mobile video accounting for over two-thirds of it, according to statistics from Cisco’s latest Visual Networking Index.

This huge wave of extra mobile data is attributed chiefly to a surge in the number of mobile web-connected devices, which are predicted to reach over 10bn (including machine-to-machine modules) by 2016 – more than the number of people expected to be on earth at that time (7.3bn, according to UN estimates).
