Parks Associates: Voice and video calls more than tripled during COVID-19 pandemic

Dallas (USA) / Bern, August 26, 2020. New research from Parks Associates’ Market Snapshot: Voice as a Lifeline and the Transformation of Home Telephony reveals a surge in home telephony during the COVID-19 outbreak. The Market Snapshot, developed in partnership with the DECT Forum, finds that as of May 2020, 30% of US broadband households reported one remote worker and 22% reported another adult was working remotely in the household. These conditions contributed to the recorded increase in voice and video calls reported by Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon. Globally, Deutsche Telekom, Virgin Media, and Orange Group also noted increases in mobile and voice traffic and increased strain on their networks.
