LONDON, Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The benefits of mobile connectivity have yet to be fully realised as 43% of the global population – equivalent to 3.45 billion people – still do not use mobile internet, according to the latest GSMA ‘State of Mobile Internet Connectivity 2024’ report.

While the proportion of the global population using mobile internet on their own device continues to increase annually, the rate of user growth is slowing. 160 million people started using mobile internet last year, compared to 2015-2021 when more than 200 million new users were added each year.
Closing the gaps
The findings from the latest report – funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) via the GSMA Mobile for Development Foundation – include:
4.6 billion people (57% of the global population) now use mobile internet on their own device350 million people (4% of the global population) live in areas without mobile internet networks (the coverage gap)3.1 billion people (39% of the global population) live within mobile internet coverage but do not use it (the usage gap). The usage gap is nine times the size of the coverage gapIn Sub-Saharan Africa, only 27% of the population use mobile internet services, leaving a 13% coverage gap and 60% usage gapClosing the usage gap would be worth an estimated $3.5 trillion to the global economy during 2023-2030, with 90% of this impact benefiting low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
For the unconnected in LMICs, device affordability and digital skills and literacy are the main barriers to mobile internet adoption.
In these countries, entry-level internet-enabled devices cost 18% of average monthly income, with this rising to 51% for the world’s poorest 20%. In Sub-Saharan Africa, which accounts for a quarter of the global unconnected population, this rises to 99% of average monthly income for the region’s poorest 20%.
John Giusti, Chief Regulatory Officer at the GSMA, said: “Despite continued progress in expanding the reach of network infrastructure and in increasing mobile internet adoption, significant digital divides remain.
“Collaboration among governments, international organisations and the mobile industry is essential to addressing barriers such as affordability, digital skills, and awareness of the mobile internet and its benefits. This effort must also focus on investing in local digital ecosystems and ensuring robust online safety frameworks.”

DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — During GITEX GLOBAL 2024, Huawei Global Optical Summit was successfully held in Dubai, UAE. Themed “Accelerate F5G-A, Amplify Intelligence”, the summit attracted more than 300 industry experts, customers, and partners from many countries around the world. At the summit, focusing on the “3 In 3 Out” trends, Huawei released a series of F5G Advanced (F5G-A) products for the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa.

“The Middle East and Central Asia are the pace-setters for digital economy growth across the world.” Said Steven Yi, President of Huawei Middle East and Central Asia Region. “Having engaged in the Middle East and Central Asia for more than 20 years, Huawei has continuously contributed to local economic and social development with its digital infrastructure, including optical networks. In the intelligent era, optical networks are facing new development opportunities. With the advantages of ultra-high bandwidth, high reliability, and green development, optical networks will play a greater role in industrial intelligence in home, campus, industry production network, and sensing fields. Huawei will work with customers and partners to promote the application of optical technologies in the industry and accelerate the digital and intelligent transformation of various industries.”
Bob Chen, President of Huawei Optical Business Product Line, pointed out in his keynote speech that the next decade will be an intelligent one in which the optical industry will face new opportunities of “3 In 3 Out”. For intelligent connectivity, homes and campuses are evolving from gigabit to 10G as optical fibers replace copper cables. This trend has been dubbed “Fiber-in Copper-out”. Moreover, on the industry communications networks of industries like electric power and transportation, SDH is evolving to fgOTN at an increasing pace, which is called “fgOTN-in SDH-out”. For intelligent sensing, in scenarios such as oil and gas pipeline inspection and perimeter inspection, manual onsite operations will be replaced by remote operations. This will require converged sensing such as vision and fiber sensing, which is a trend called “Optical-sensing-in Hard-work-out”.
Focusing on the “3 In 3 Out” trends, Huawei is dedicated to developing innovative products and solutions.
In the ” Fiber-in Copper-out ” campus scenario, Huawei has updated its FTTO 2.0 solution by launching OptiXstar P884E, the industry’s first high-density 10G optical terminal, achieving 25G coverage. Four Huawei OptiXstar series Wi-Fi 7 optical terminals and optical gateways are released for hospitals, hotels, and education networks to develop new standard configuration for digital and intelligent Wi-Fi 7 campuses.
“fgOTN-in SDH-out” scenario, Huawei launched OptiXtrans E6600/9600 — the industry’s first optical transmission product portfolio that offers E2E support for the fgOTN standard, building solid and reliable communications networks for industries such as electric power and transportation.
In terms of “Optical-sensing-in Hard-work-out”, Gavin Gu, President of Huawei’s Enterprise Optical Network Domain, delivered a keynote speech. Gu noted that Huawei has launched the buried optical cable inspection solution to implement proactive warning of cable damage events, achieving an alarm accuracy of 95%, which is industry-leading. This ensures the security of important communications cables for ISPs, carriers, and governments. In addition, Huawei launched the lightweight perimeter inspection solution, which extends the perimeter inspection capability of optical fiber sensing to small-scale campus scenarios such as substations, oil and gas stations, and data centers.
Looking ahead, Huawei will continue to innovate and work with all global customers and partners to seize new “3 In 3 Out” opportunities, and to accelerate industrial intelligence, achieving win-win results in the intelligent era.
