Embedded systems applications

Increased data

Consumers today desire an on-demand computing experience that entails having data available at the ready anytime. Gone are the days when consumers owned smartphones for the sole purpose of making phone calls. They now require a rich user experience allowing them to access documents, e-mail, pictures, video, and more on their mobile devices. Combined with the more than 37 billion applications already downloaded, data consumption continues to rise. According to a recent Cisco report, global mobile data traffic from 2011 and 2016 will grow to 10.8 exabytes (1 billion gigabytes) per month, and by 2016, video is expected to comprise 71 percent of all mobile data traffic.

As with any technology shift, designers must consider several factors to address the changing landscape, but in this case, a few issues stand out more than the rest as trends that will define where mobility is going.
