The infographic below shows the Internet broadband growth statistics in the US. Internet has become more important than ever for communication, entertainment, work and information in today’s tech world. Nearly half of the global population is connected to the Internet and United States stands in the third place. India and China stand in second and first place in terms of most population connected to the Internet. Nearly 96% of the US household is connected to the broadband and 22 million locations have hotspots enabled in public places. These statistics have increased dramatically during the pandemic period in 2020. Compared to 2015 people are having higher Internet speeds with lower cost and this is bound to continue for the coming years.

Cheaper fiber delivery costs and newer technology Wi-Fi networks has helped improve speeds with lower connectivity costs. Internet service providers(ISPs) need to consider the total number of Internet users, the activities carried out online and the bandwidth necessary for those activities, and how many of those users will be using the Internet simultaneously. These factors will affect the Quality of Experience for the broadband  users.

The Infographic below shows some interesting statistics of how broadband Internet market has evolved over the years and outlines the issues and challenges that might arise in the future of broadband connectivity. Every business needs broadband be it small, medium or big with a dedicated Internet access with high speeds and data security. Not only for businesses, broadband has become the most essential to the modern world we live in and we are expecting to be connected to the Internet at public places, restaurants, schools, hospitals and at all times.

The cost of bandwidth is going down day by day as more content is available locally through peering on Internet Exchanges. Also competition is also driving down the price of broadband along with cheaper and faster fiber technologies and economies of scale. 5G might also compete with fiber broadband in the coming years. ISPs will need to deal with this competition in the coming years and need to step up their game in offering higher bandwidths on fiber at affordable costs.

The infographic below shows how over-the-top (OTT) video platforms are growing and evolving. The change has been very rapid with people now streaming content through these platforms and it has become one of the important sources of entertainment. This demand surge is mostly influenced by the lockdown as every home is connected to the Internet and it has become a basic necessity in urban areas. OTT platforms such as Amazon prime, Netflix and Disney Hotstar are the most viewed platforms and the numbers will continue to rise in the coming years with higher number of broadband connections in homes and people streaming by connecting their televisions to Internet.

The era on watching cable TV has changed forever as people prefer to watch the TV programmes on demand rather than wait for them to be broadcasted. Apart from this a lot of content not available on cable TV is also accessible on demand on these streaming platforms.

Internet service providers have more challenges with these upcoming trends as they need to fulfill the customers need with providing good quality high-speed Internet for streaming online with lower latency and without buffering for multiple HD streams. Most of these content providers are accessible through local caching servers and Internet Exchanges which are accessible through peering, reducing the cost of the Internet upstream for ISPs.

Jaze ISP Manager helps Internet service providers (ISPs) to design and create customizable RADIUS based policies with separate queuing for peering and Internet bandwidth to help reduce ISP costs and provide better quality of service for OTT and other services to end users.

The infographic below shows the explosive growth of internet connected devices that is currently taking place. Over the past 10 years, nearly 200 billion objects have got connected to Internet networks. This has been accelerated recently due to consumption growth and demand. Consumers are more connected than ever and the pandemic has also helped in surge of IoT and smart homes devices across industries like Manufacturing, Education, Healthcare, IT, Automobile, Retail, Data security and many more. Essential requirements for the IoT connectivity are Broadband and Internet data connections. Bluetooth, NFC and other sensors which are used for connecting to data networks and the Internet.

With the growth of newer wireless and Wi-Fi technologies in the recent years, ISP Providers and Wi-Fi hotspot operators have to focus on adapting the technologies like IPv6 on their networks. IPv6 plays a major role in the upcoming technology trend which need to be enabled on ISP networks for better proliferation of IoT devices.

Jaze ISP Manager is an end-to-end ISP Management solution for Internet service providers and Wi-Fi Hotspot operators to shape your traffic efficiently through custom RADIUS policies to help reduce ISP costs and provide better quality of service and support for IPv6 to drive next generation services.

The infographic below shows the growth of 5G technology and how it is going to transform the next evolution of mobile technology after 4G LTE. 5G will deliver a fully mobile and connected environment for subscribers by catering to a wide range of use cases like faster data speeds and extremely low latency which enhances the user experience. 5G will bring in several new use cases, such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) gaming, seamless video calling, and Ultra-High Definition (UHD) videos and many more. With the growing demand for high-speed data connectivity for IoT applications, such as smart homes adopt 5G technology adoption will be accelerated and challenges like cost, infrastructure and time will be overcome through economies of scale.

ISPs providing high speed broadband on FTTH based technologies will complement the 5G services offered by telcos and ISPs can look to provide faster and low latency services within the subscriber’s homes when compared to 5G as ISP last-mile technologies are relatively lower cost with lesser cost per GB to transmit the data.

Jaze ISP Management solution enables ISPs to ensure the best quality of service for broadband customer and to centrally manage end-to-end operations for their ISP business and grow their business.
