1、Global Network Traffic 2030 reportPlanning ahead for the growing impacts of emerging technologies 2Network traffic forecasts and trends to 2030Before we beginTechnologies everywhere are advancing,from cloud to edge computing,artificial intelligence(AI),machine learning(ML),augmented,virtual and exte
2、nded reality(AR,VR,XR),digital twins and internet of things(IoT).Harnessing it all presents significant network evolution challenges.The fusion of the digital,physical and human worlds,in particular,will drive continued exponential network demand between now and 2030.Future networks will need to han
