In this episode of The 5G Factor, our series analysts Ron Westfall and Todd R. Weiss of The Futurum Group share their insights about Nokia’s new Global Traffic 2030 report and its Technology Strategy 2030 vision for the future of 5G.

Nokia 2030 Vision

Nokia recently issued its detailed new Global Network Traffic 2030 report, which presents intriguing projections on how network traffic will grow four-fold to nine-fold over today’s numbers in the years leading up to 2030. Nokia also issued its Technology Strategy 2030 document as well, which looks at how emerging technologies will shape networks and society over the next seven years. As we discuss these reports in our latest The 5G Factor episode, we will explore the latest trends driving global traffic growth including AI, extended reality, digital twins, automation, the growing billions of devices being used, the metaverse, and much more. We will also talk about the reports, their data, and what it will all mean for Nokia’s business, total addressable market numbers, and revenue prospects.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
