"We firmly believe that five billion people will be connected by 2015, four billion of them over broadband," says company CEO, Beresford-Wylie. "This remarkable growth will be accompanied by a 100-fold increase in traffic over the world's networks and will require innovation across the entire ecosystem.” He says he believes his company is well positioned to deliver what is required to meet the expected demand.

Leonard Waverman, of the London Business School, lays out the promise of such a tremendous potential in a study. He was commissioned by the company and will share the findings of the study at the congress and introduce the Connectivity Scorecard, an index that ranks countries in terms of ICT usage. The study, which highlights how even the most connected nations have room for improvement, should be seen as a wake-up call to nations to take decisive action to reap the full economic and social benefits of communications.

The company has based its solutions for meeting the 100-fold traffic challenge on technological innovations in both flat architecture and optimized modular products.

Visitors to the company's stand at the congress can learn more about the newest offerings, such as the end-to-end solution for Long Term Evolution (LTE), the successor to today's high-speed 3G mobile networks. The solution allows mobile service providers to give their subscribers a familiar Internet experience on mobile devices at true broadband speeds.
