- That all roads point to the requirement of optic fibre being implemented deep into both wired and wireless networks.
- The future is indeed wireless, but it’s mostly WiFi and not 4G.
- Wireless technologies need to be primarily methods of connecting to nearby fibre networks.
- That Australian mobile networks will soon have to join the US and UK in offloading data onto local WiFi networks in order to avoid congestion.
- That a 4G mobile user uses 28x more data than a 3G user.
- That new wireless spectrum needs to be opened up as quickly as possible to cope with growth.
- That as much wireless traffic as possible needs to be seamlessly offloaded onto the wired networks to avoid congestion.
- There is a huge increasing requirement for low-latency data transfer and high upload speeds.
- That a fibre to the node infrastructure which relies on a ‘last mile’ premises connection using Australia’s current copper infrastructure, current HFC networks or fixed 4G-like wireless won’t have the symmetry, contention ratio, bandwidth or latency to keep up with demand by 2016.
- That fibre needs to be very nearby every internet connection whether wired or wireless.
