iPhone Data Traffic at "Unheard of Levels" on O2 Network
Sunday, February 10th, 2008 at 3:00 PM - by John Martellaro
The chief operating officer of Telefonica O2 in Europe said that the iPhone is driving their data network to "unheard of levels of mobile internet usage," according to Macworld UK on Monday.
Vivek Dev said on Monday, "Our Apple iPhone is already driving unheard-of levels of mobile internet usage, and the introduction of flat rate data tariffs is expected to increase this further. Both of these place huge capacity demands on our networks, and because so much of that usage is at home, femtocells coupled with DSL could provide an alternative capacity resource."
Mr. Dev said that the femtocell technology "has the potential to support increased growth in the usage and consumption of services and data and could play a crucial role in underpinning the explosive growth of mobile broadband usage."
The femtocell technology, being developed with NEC and Ubiquisys, improves 3G coverage for those indoors and is expected to be deployed by early 2009. Jonny Evans wrote for Macworld UK that this will drive additonal 3G iPhone rumors.
