With future consumer demand in mind, digital communications company EE switched to the fastest 4G mobile network in the world. The network, which runs LTE-Advanced technology, has the capability to run at speeds of up to 300Mbps! At first, the network covered London’s Tech City – home of the ExtraDigital London office – with organisations in this area getting first use.
The move comes in anticipation of huge data usage predictions, with an expected 750% increase forecasted over the next 3 years. EE state that:
“…analysts predict that data usage will grow significantly over the next three years. In fact, our trend-mapping shows that data usage is set to rise by 750% in that period, as consumers and companies conduct more of their business and lives on-line.
…The speed and capacity of the EE 300Mbps network will create new business opportunities, more efficient and flexible ways of wireless working, and changes in the way in which content is consumed and created on the go.”
