As artificial intelligence and online video usage soar, InterDigital's report warns of imminent strain on wireless networks from immersive content. Their findings indicate that video accounts for 69% of internet traffic, with a significant portion stemming from smartphones. The report emphasizes the urgent need for network upgrades to accommodate the demand from an expanding XR market, which is expected to see a fourfold increase in device shipments by 2031. Without evolving network architecture, current infrastructures may falter under the next generation of immersive applications.
The immersive content consumption is on the rise, threatening to strain existing wireless infrastructures as current networks will likely not support next-gen applications.
Video content dominates internet traffic, with 69% of all online data coming from video, necessitating upgrades to network capabilities to cope with increased demand.
InterDigital notes that by 2031, XR device shipments will quadruple from 2025, highlighting the rapidly growing consumer demand for immersive experiences.
With 74% of smartphone data consumption attributed to video and over a quarter of consumers using subscription video-on-demand services, the demand for enhanced network performance is critical.
