Top 10 Communications Trends to Watch in 2015

摘要

Communications represents the core of electronics. The technology traces back to the dawn of electronics, and still dominates today by weaving its way into nearly every facet of modern life. However, its immense impact on our lives is generally taken for granted. With that in mind, pay attention to these key communications trends in the coming year: Long Term Evolution (LTE) 4G cellular standards, well established in the U.S. and Asia, haven't hooked on everywhere. Many locations domestically and in most developing nations still rely mainly on 3G technology. In Europe, for example, LTE penetration is only 14%. With the smartphone now the de facto standard handset, there's ever-growing demand for broad and fast LTE coverage. In response, U.S. carriers continue to expand their LTE offerings. Its growth, though, often slows due to lack of available capital and suitable frequency spectrum.
