Wi-Fi has become our oxygen, it’s all around us, we can’t see it, but we need it to survive, especially when most people are owners of multiple Wi-Fi devices. WiFi helps with the transmission and sharing of an internet connection to help users connect on a network without reliance on an ethernet or physical cable.
Juniper Research released a report titled, “Mobile Data Offload & Onload: Wi-Fi, Small Cell & Network Strategies 2015-2019” in which it is estimated that by 2019, there will be as much as 115,000 PB (Petabyte) data in aerial transmission through WiFi. One Petabyte means 13.3 years of HD-TV video while 50 Petabyte means an entire written work of mankind from the beginning of recorded history in all languages. And we are talking about the size of data which will be 2,300 times bigger than a small 50 PB chunk. Imagine how big the data will Wi-Fi be carrying in a couple of years.
