How femtocells will solve data capacity

Data traffic is overwhelming mobile operator's networks. Projections from major operators confirm this trend, with recent reports ranging from data capacity doubling every 3 months (KT/Korea) to 12 months (Vodafone). If we project these sustained rates of data growth to future mobile network capacity, the current network capacity will represent less than 10 per cent of what is needed by 2016. Future network deployments will, in fact, be handling the vast majority of data capacity requirements for mobile network operators.
