438 0 Kommentare Residential and Industrial Areas Revealed as Most Extreme Hotspots, JDSU Mobile Data Report Finds - Seite 2

Extreme connection asymmetry
The study also looked at the downlink to uplink ratio for the 100 most extreme hotspots and grouped them into the aforementioned zones.


Classification		DL:UL Ratio
Business		9.93:1
Dense Urban		7.09:1
Industrial		11.56:1
Residential		5.69:1
Rural		1.93:1

At opposite ends of the scale were Residential, where there is a ratio of only 5.69:1, and Industrial, where the ratio is nearly double this figure at 11.56:1. Typical assumptions would be that industrial zones would exhibit a lower downlink to uplink ratio due to more mixed business use, and that residential areas would exhibit a higher ration driven by media streaming. This study shows that while that may well be the case for the majority of areas, it does not hold true for extreme locations.

Dealing with the deluge
Since smartphones began to gain popularity in 2007, mobile operators have been engaged in an ongoing battle to manage spiralling consumer demand for data.

In previous years, JDSU demonstrated that extreme data consumption is limited to a relatively small group of customers. This report reveals that extreme usage is also concentrated in small geographic pockets that do not subscribe to commonly-held industry assumptions. Taken collectively, these findings show that planning network evolution based on industry assumptions and received wisdom will not deliver the best customer or business outcomes. Rather, in-depth data usage and experience intelligence is required for operators to deal with skyrocketing data use in an increasingly competitive environment.
