The developing world has been boosting its speeds and improving the experience for smartphone users.

According to the results of a recent study conducted by the GSMA, the number of global 4G mobile broadband connections has now reached the point that it has broken the 1 billion mark, for the first time.

In fact, the GSMA is now predicting that, by the year 2020, 4G will represent one in three mobile connections.

The results of the study were shared within this year’s global edition of the “Mobile Economy” report series from the GSMA. It suggested that there is currently a rapid change in technology as 3G mobile broadband shifts in favor of 4G networks. Moreover, it pointed out that this trend is occurring in both developed and developing economies. The outcome is that there is a greater drive in smartphone adoption, digital innovation, and in the growth of mobile data.

The report indicate that 2015 saw mobile broadband growth and acceleration that was unprecedented.

Data from the study suggested that the world economy saw a $3.1 trillion shot in the arm from the mobile industry. This indicates that the share of the global GDP representing that industry is a massive 4.2 percent.

By the close of last year, 4G was behind more than one billion of the total 7.3 billion mobile connections. In fact, that figure means that there was a doubling of the number of 4G connections that were made, last year, greatly because of the expansion of mobile networks at this level, within developing economies. By the time 2015 came to an end, there were 151 different countries with a total of 451 live LTE networks.

According to the GSMA director general, Mats Granryd, “Our new report reveals that mobile broadband is now a truly global phenomenon, extending high-speed connectivity and services to citizens in all corners of the world.” He went on to say that last year’s growth in mobile technology connections was greater than it had ever been, before and was a “testament to the billions of dollars that mobile operators have invested in next-generation networks, services and spectrum in recent years.”

NEC Indonesia plans to implement this new tech in select medical centers to improve sustainability and care.

NEC Indonesia, an IT and communications solutions and products firm, has now announced that it will be implementing a new form of mobile technology solution into select hospitals throughout the country.

This implementation of mobile tech will be a major component of its “Solutions for Society” project.

Among the IT solutions to be implemented as a part of this mobile technology program, will be its Bedside Nursing (BSN). The goal of the Solutions for Society project, as a whole, is to generate value in order to enhance the security and sustainability of Indonesian society. This particular component is designed to help to overcome the challenge of providing efficient, safe and yet affordable healthcare, which is a rising struggle for many organizations worldwide.

The proper use of mobile technology may help hospitals to be able to overcome some of those struggles.

The primary challenge faced by nearly every hospital on the planet is in being able to meet a broad spectrum of needs of a patient population that is growing in its diversity. BSN has been created as an innovative IT solution that will ease the burden of those challenges through efficient resolutions.

In order to use, BSN, nurses are equipped with mobile devices, such as tablets, in order to be able to obtain patient data on a real-time basis, and then make a request for information from the Hospital Information System (HIS). In this way, the nurses are better able to offer effective and personalized care to each patient.

The BSN system from NEC Indonesia is scalable on Android based mobile devices. It is meant to be user friendly and convenient, as well as compatible with the HIS platform. Upon the initial launch of this solution, it will be implemented in two of Indonesia’s major medical centers, including: Cimacan Public Hospital and Budh Asih Public hospital.

Through the use of this mobile technology, the result is supposed to be a reduced operational cost, while decreasing the risk of medical administrative errors and simultaneously improving patient care.
