Mobile broadband market worldwide to reach 1 billion connections in 2012, Pyramid Finds.

A NEW survey by Pyramid Research forecasts that the mobile broadband market worldwide will reach 1 billion connections during 2012, segmented by 3G and 4G network technologies.

According to the report, mobile operators around the world will invest billions in the spectrum and network infrastructure to deploy 4G networks, but are struggling to keep pace with 3G data traffic growth driven by the use of smartphones and USB dongles, as well as bandwidth-intensive video content and applications.

"Operators planning to deploy 4G networks face many technical, strategic, and business complexities in how to manage their network evolution and critical questions on how to get a return on their investments," says Berge Ayvazian, Senior Consultant, Heavy Reading, and Director, 4G Consulting Practice.

"Together, Heavy Reading, Pyramid, and Wireless 20/20 have helped operators to more accurately forecast mobile broadband subscriptions, revenue, and traffic growth; we hope this special report offers valuable insight into the findings we are generating from this new service."
