Roaming IoT data to match 165 mn 4K Netflix streaming hours in 5 yrs

New Delhi: The amount of data generated by roaming internet of things (IoT) connections will increase from 86 petabytes in 2022 to 1,100 petabytes globally by 2027, a report showed on Wednesday.This represents enough data to stream 165 million hours of 4K video from online entertainment and gaming platforms such as Netflix, according to Juniper Research.

One petabyte is 1,024 terabytes (TB) or 1 million gigabytes (GB).

This 1,140 per cent growth over the next five years will be driven by the termination of 3G networks, necessitating the adoption of low-power cellular networks.
