7 billion people around the globe consuming 1.5GB internet data per day

As of today, there are 7 billion people in the world, with an average of 1.5GB of data per person per day. Only a self-driving car can generate 64TB of data a day. In 1992, the entire human race produced only 100GB of data per day, said Huawei chairman.

At China Mobile Global Partner Conference, Liang Hua, chairman of Huawei, said in a speech that at present, the total amount of global information and data has exploded.

“Computer power will be as widespread as broadband, and it will become a new infrastructure for a smart society.”

“There are 7 billion people in the world, and the average data generated per person per day is as high as 1.5GB” said Liang from Huawei

The data released by Liang Hua shows that so far, 1.5 million 5G sites have been deployed worldwide, and a total of 176 5G commercial networks are providing 5G services to 520 million users.

Evolution in Consumer:

For individual consumers, taking a 1GB high-definition movie as an example, the initial buffer delay has been reduced from 3s to 0.5s in the past, realizing the double-speed non-stuttering experience that many young people like. Liang Hua said: “I believe that with the further development of 5G, personal experience will gradually move towards a high-definition immersive era.”

In the past year, more than 10,000 5G industry innovation projects have been implemented, including 1,500 commercial contracts, which have played a role in key industries such as steel, ports, mining, and manufacturing.

Mr. Hua pointed out that at present, Huawei and its partners have created two operating systems, one is HarmonyOS operating system and the other is Euler.

HarmonyOS application scenarios are smart, IoT, and industrial devices, while Euler is geared towards servers, edge computing, cloud, and embedded devices. “We hope that through Euler and HarmonyOS, we will work with the industry to build an open-source operating system that covers all scenarios, adapt to more scenarios, and promote computing power and data circulation.”
