    LTE subscriptions also contribute for the growth, which according to the report will surpass 100 million by the end of the year 2016. It also states that the next five years will experience new services from mobile service providers such as voice over LTE and LTE-advanced features.

    Australia, Malaysia and Singapore are stated to be leading in terms of latency and speed, in the region. However, the report ignored other countries in the region such as New Zealand and other countries in Asia, in this regard of network performance for latency and speed.

    Australia is also the only country in the South East Asia region to have adopted the Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (APT) 700MHz band consisting of 698-806MHz, marking it as the leader of network performance with the lowest cell-edge latencies in the region.

    "The data traffic is going to grow to 6 exabytes per month for 2021," says Emilio Romeo, head of Ericsson Australia and New Zealand, during a call with media on Thursday afternoon. “If we look at our region, 100 million LTE subscriptions will be reached by 2016. Smartphone penetration in Australia was 90 percent, we already reached 90 percent in 2015, and it will surpass the 100 percent [mark] for 2021," he added.
