(Telecompaper) Mobile data traffic will grow three times faster than fixed traffic in the period 2014-2019, driven by more devices and users as well as faster networks, according to the latest forecast from Cisco. Global mobile data traffic will reach an annual run rate of 292 billion GB by 2019, up from 30 billion in 2014. The growth is driven by more mobile users, which are expected to grow from nearly 59 percent of the world population last year to 69 percent in 2019. Cisco predicts there will be 11.5 billion mobile-ready devices/connections in the world in 2019, including 8.3 billion personal mobile devices and 3.2 billion M2M connections (up from 7.4 billion total connections in 2014). The average global mobile network speed will increase 2.4 fold over the same period, from 1.7 Mbps in 2014 to 4.0 Mbps in 2019. By 2019, mobile video will represent 72 percent of global mobile data traffic, up from 55 percent in 2014.
