dkatana writes: WiFi Offloading is skyrocketing. This is the conclusion of a
new report from Juniper Research, which points out that the amount of
smartphone and tablet data traffic on WiFi networks will will increase to more
than 115,000 petabytes by 2019, compared to under 30,000 petabytes this year,
representing almost a four-fold increase. Most of this data is offloaded to
consumer's WiFi by the carriers, offering the possibility to share your home
internet connection in exchange for "free" hotspots. But this article on
InformationWeek Network Computing also warns that "The capacity of the 2.4GHz
band is reaching its limit. [...] the growing number of WiFi devices using
unlicensed bands is seriously affecting network efficiency. Capacity is
compromised by the number of simultaneously active devices, with transmission
speeds dropping as much as 20% of the nominal value. With the number of IoT and
M2M applications using WiFi continuously rising, that could become a serious
problem soon."
