Urbanization is currently a major global trend.
By 2016 over 30 percent of the
world’s population are expected live in metro and
urban areas with a density of more than 1,000 people
per square kilometer. These areas represent less than
1 percent of the Earth’s total land area, yet they are
set to generate around 60 percent of mobile
traffic by 2016.
In metro and urban areas, heterogeneous networks
will complement macro network improvements
to serve the traffic and provide high-quality user
experience. In less-densely populated areas the
focus will be more on building cost-effective
coverage and capacity.

This analysis is made based on knowledge of traffic
volume data from different geographical areas in
many networks combined with traffic forecast figures.
A high quantity of today’s mobile data traffic is
already being generated in metro areas. However, it is
worth noting that by 2016 the amount of mobile data
traffic is forecasted to be 10 times that of 2011.
