Gigabit networks support exponential data growth

Gigabit connections are needed to support exponentially growing data volumes generated by European Data Spaces and by deployment of data-driven applications. Gigabit networks provide low latency connections to facilitate large scale data sharing and to optimize the user experience with data-heavy, cloud based digital services and applications based on Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality or Virtual Reality.

Gigabit connectivity over very high capacity networks and 5G will support future data sharing trends and usage patterns. Studies predict that by 2025, 30% of data will be consumed in real time and that data processing shifts to network edges. Every connected person will have 1 interaction with data every 18 seconds or 5000 interactions per day.

The video below shows how connectivity networks’ evolution to 10Gbps supports the data economy.
