Ericsson ConsumerLab: Family CommunicationEricsson
The Ericsson ConsumerLab report Family Communication, based on studies carried out in the US, shows that all families differ from one another – from the way they communicate to how they create rules and spend time together.
The report compares the behavior of families with high usage of communication services with that of families with low usage. Those two groups of families are equally sized, and both demonstrate extreme behavior. And usage varies greatly – not only between the parents, but even between the children in the two types of families.
Eighty percent of families using a lot of communication services believe that as a result, they are happier, have more communication with each other and better knowledge about each other. But for these families, there are also more concerns that appear.

Ericsson Technology Review: Optimizing UICC modules for IoT applicationsEricsson
Commonly referred to as SIM cards, the universal integrated circuit cards (UICCs) used in all cellular devices today are in fact complex and powerful minicomputers capable of much more than most Internet of Things (IoT) applications require. Until a simpler and less costly alternative becomes available, action must be taken to ensure that the relatively high price of UICC modules does not hamper IoT growth.
This Ericsson Technology Review article presents two mid-term approaches. The first is to make use of techniques that reduce the complexity of using UICCs in IoT applications, while the second is to use the UICCs’ excess capacity for additional value generation. Those who wish to exploit the potential of the UICCs to better support IoT applications have the opportunity to use them as cryptographic storage, to run higher-layer protocol stacks and/or as supervisory entities, for example.
Mobile data traffic volumes are expected to increase by a factor of four by 2025, and 45 percent of that traffic will be carried by 5G networks. To deliver on customer expectations in this rapidly changing environment, communication service providers must overcome challenges in three key areas: building sufficient capacity, resolving operational inefficiencies through automation and artificial intelligence, and improving service differentiation. This issue of ETR magazine provides insights about how to tackle all three.

MARKET OVERVIEW
Connectivity anytime, anywhere
is the expected norm
Internet connectivity has reached its 25th year. Mobile
devices are now affordable and in ample supply, while
mobile networks are keeping pace with the latest
networking technologies.
Consumers in the U.S. and Canada, alongside other
developed markets, have passed the introductory phase
of the Networked Society. The pervasive connectivity of
people and devices is transforming our lives, including
our homes, jobs, health, relationships and more.
In 1990, the internet had existed as a public resource
for less than a decade, and almost 80 percent of
the world’s internet users resided in the U.S. or
Canada. Now, 99 percent of households in the U.S.
have at least 1 device connected to the internet
and nearly 50 percent have 5 devices or more.1

In 2014, the U.S. and Canada were home to almost
380 million mobile subscriptions, of which nearly
300 million were for smartphones, mobile PCs, tablets
and mobile routers. Most of the growth from 2013 to 2014
came from an increase in subscriptions for these devices
– a trend which is predicted to continue. By 2020, total
mobile subscriptions will approach 480 million, of which
smartphone, mobile PC, tablet and router subscriptions
will comprise nearly 450 million. This translates to a
population penetration rate of almost 125 percent of
the nearly 370 million predicted inhabitants in
North America in 2020.
LTE subscriptions will dominate
in the coming years
Over 25 percent of all mobile subscriptions in 2013 were
LTE, a figure that jumped to around 40 percent in 2014.
Over the next five years, mobile service providers will
continue to transition customers to 4G networks
to deliver new services like VoLTE and enable
LTE Advanced features. By 2020, approximately
90 percent of subscriptions will be LTE.
Much of this subscription growth will come from an
increased number of connected devices per user, rather
than the addition of individual new users. In 2014, the
average number of connected devices per household in
the U.S. was 5.2, and consumer intention to acquire more
devices indicates that growth will continue.
In addition, 5G will begin to be deployed during the
forecast period, with 5G subscriptions becoming
commercially available in 2020. 5G usage will be
driven to a large extent by new use cases, especially
machine-type communications.

App coverage – a new way of looking
at network performance
The relative importance of network performance to
user satisfaction is higher in the U.S. than the global
average, driving 24 percent of overall mobile user
satisfaction compared to 19 percent globally.2
With the increased use of mobile applications, Ericsson
proposed a new approach to network performance
called app coverage. Essentially, every application has
its own coverage map, driven by a number of factors.
To illustrate, Ericsson analyzed network performance
measurements from Speedtest.net to calculate median
and cell edge downlink data throughput rates. A good
streaming video experience requires a throughput
rate of 5 to 10 Mbps. In the U.S. and Canada, a user
has a 50 percent probability of receiving 7 to 10 Mbps
downlink throughput. Measuring results only on
LTE networks, the median throughput is 1.4 times
faster in the U.S. and 2.3 times faster in Canada.
The benefit of LTE is even more dramatic at the
90 percent probability threshold (a proxy for cell-edge
performance), where throughput is 2 times faster in the
U.S. and 4 times faster in Canada, when compared to
throughput measurements across cellular technologies.
However, with greater demand on LTE networks,
LTE network cell edge performance continues to
decline in both markets. Densification, appropriate
network dimensioning and adequate spectrum
allocations are required to continue to ensure good
app coverage for all users in the entire cell, even
after LTE is deployed.
MOBILE TRAFFIC
By the end of 2020, mobile data traffic in the U.S. and
Canada will be close to 6 ExaBytes (EB) per month – or
7.5 times the traffic of 2014. 6 EB is equivalent to about
4.2 billion movie downloads.
Aggregate mobile voice traffic will increase slightly
over the next six years. Mobile data traffic is forecast
to increase at a CAGR of nearly 40 percent from 2014
to 2020. In 2020, mobile networks in the U.S. and
Canada will carry more mobile data than the
cumulative totals predicted for the 5-year period
from 2010 to 2016.

There is no “typical” mobile
user in the U.S. and Canada
The burgeoning number of activities performed
over mobile networks and devices has resulted in
increasingly personal mobile user profiles.
Some applications are frequently used by nearly all
mobile users, such as SMS and voice calling. Others,
such as mobile gaming and music streaming, are
used frequently by a smaller number of consumers.
Overall, consumers increasingly pick and mix the
applications that best meet their unique needs.
U.S. and Canadian consumers also have a rising number
of choices when it comes to mobile devices. Among
smartphone users, household penetration of tablets is
higher than 50 percent, and a number of less-traditional
connected devices are rising in popularity.
Whether consumers prefer their news to be delivered
through a smartphone, a tablet or a smart watch, any
combination of device, location and time of day is
possible. It’s ultimately the consumer’s choice, and
this ability to choose is the underlying reason why the
U.S. and Canada market segments are increasingly
composed of individuals creating their unique mobile
experience. As a result, each user becomes their
own distinct segment of the market. As mobile usage
diversifies to include dozens of tasks over dozens
of devices, the consumer mobile-experience needs
to change as well.
Traditional mobile-experience needs, such as productivity
and staying in touch, are joined by the consumer desire to
be entertained, to try new things and to have fun. When
asked why they downloaded an app to their smartphone,
U.S. respondents cited boredom as their motivation nearly
as often as they cited the need for a specific function.

Mobility is critical for business
Consumer expectations of the businesses with which
they interact are affected by anywhere, anytime attitudes.
With nearly 90 percent of North American consumers
digitally interacting with brands, businesses are looking
for ways to improve customer engagement and support.3
Increasingly, this means providing more and better
mobile connectivity for their organizations.
The figure below shows the results of a survey of mobile
high tech business users in the U.S., regarding the kinds
of connectivity provided by their employers.4
The relative
importance of mobility has changed dramatically in just
two years. Around 75 percent of respondents indicated
that they have access to a mobile data plan and mobile
device from their employer, compared to less than
50 percent in 2012.

In fact, 70 percent of the CIOs and CTOs interviewed in
the survey felt that mobility was critical to their business.
They saw this as a key enabler for quicker response
time to clients as well as employee productivity and
satisfaction. As consumers increasingly use their mobile
devices for researching and buying products, as well
as for post-sale activities including bill payment and
customer service, the channels of connectivity between
businesses and their customers will continue to grow
broader and deeper.
