Mobile phone traffic in Japan is increasing dramatically due to growing use of data and media-rich content on smartphones like the iPhone. iPhone traffic nearly doubled in August 2008 according to one report. This growing traffic is straining mobile networks and base stations. However, integrating mobile and fixed networks through technologies like FMC and WiFi can help solve capacity issues by shifting more indoor traffic to fixed networks.

Mobile Phone Traffics are Overflowing by iPhones

The number of the subscribers of mobile phones in Japan is beyond 100,000,000 and it
means that every person in Japan has one mobile phone. It looks like that the mobile
phone market has already reached mature situation. However, as a global tide, the mobile
telecommunication service is greatly sifting from voice to data service and the contents of
the service are changing dramatically to media rich ones. 90% of the current handheld
units are available for internet connection. The data usage fee is over one forth of the
monthly bill. Because media rich contents are overflowing more and more, it will cause
explosive increase of the traffic in the near future. Besides, it has been increasingly
demanded by the consumers to deal with the radio dead zone problems in buildings and
crowded spaces more and more carefully. Therefore, investment pressure for expensive
mobile base stations is getting bigger and bigger. However, the more the mobile phone
companies appeal that the service lineups of mobile data communication of 3G/4G like
iPhone 3G serives are very convenient and useful, the bigger the limitation of accessing
to heavy contents they have to set is.
There is a recent good related article as below;
iPhone Traffic Nearly Doubles in August
AdMob announced today that its August 2008 AdMob Mobile Metrics Report show
that the Apple iPhone has nearly doubled the amount of traffic it produces in August.
More than 2.9 million requests per day came from iPhone users according to the report.
The top five smartphones in the US (in no order) according to the report are the iPhone,
Palm Centro, BlackBerry Curve, BlackBerry Pearl, and Samsung Instinct. Those five
handsets generated 12.9% of all US traffic in August.
Nokia has 62.4% of worldwide smartphone traffic, despite not having a top 20
smartphone in the US. RIM is second place with 10.8% worldwide and in the US RIM
produces 31.2% of smartphone traffic. Smartphones in all accounted for 23.7% of traffic
in the US in August.
But you do not need to worry about the problem because we have a good solution.
FMC (Fixed Mobile Convergence) is greatly expected as one of the most effective
methods to solve the conflicting problem. It is a technique to flow the surging traffic to
surface fixed network at low cost. Indeed, 70-80% of mobile phone traffics is caused not
outdoors but "INDOORS". In addition, it is requested to connect every one with anybody
at everywhere with ubiquities and IP usage. Opened connection is inevitably requested
and is getting greater rapidly. The fixed networks, mobile networks, fixed data

2. communications and wireless data communication which were separately standing alone
are getting being unified. The broad band era of one platform has come.
Nobody doubts that in the near future only the carriers that can provide mobile broad
band contents and application services regardless of the type of mobile units will be
supported by all the consumers.
The Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications of
Japan is aggressively supporting IP and open technology. It is pushing fusion of mobile
networks and fixed networks by making fair competition rules.
WiFi has great open nature and it is the very useful means as a common platform all
over the world. It is equipped not only by PCs but by various kinds of mobile telephones
or game consoles. Everyone can use it so it is the most popular wireless
telecommunication method.
