What is Carrier Offloading?

Carrier offloading or data offloading is pretty simple to understand. When a carrier network like AT&T or Verizon has too many people on their 3G, 4G, or 5G network, speeds slow down, and customer devices don’t work as quickly.

Why Is Carrier Offloading Necessary?

There are 6 billion smartphone users worldwide and 16 billion mobile devices. This number is only expected to grow. It’s estimated that there will be 18.2 billion mobile devices by 2025. At a minimum, 5G must support one million devices every square kilometer or every .386 square miles.
