NVIDIA’s GPU Technology Conference (GTC) 2025 wasn’t just another tech event—it was a bold declaration of where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is headed. With 25,000 in-person attendees and a buzzing virtual crowd of 300,000, there was immense energy and excitement in the air. Jensen Huang’s keynote set the stage, unveiling a vision that swaps traditional computing standards for a new era of AI computational efficiency driven by token generation. ABI Research’s April 2025 recap whitepaper dives deep into these shifts, and we’ve distilled six key highlights that every business leader and tech strategist needs to know.

Today is World Cloud Security Day, and ABI Research would like to dedicate the day to raising awareness around the threats posed by the cloud. Moreover, our analysts provide some advice on how enterprises can protect their data stored on cloud platforms. 

Digitalization in manufacturing is redefining operational efficiency and resilience, yet it’s not always so clear how digitally transformed manufacturers are. To get a better understanding of how technologically advanced manufacturers are, to date, ABI Research conducted the second edition of its Manufacturers’ Technology Adoption & Attitudes Survey, published in March 2025. It draws insights from 458 decision-makers across the United States, Germany, and Malaysia. The six revelations shared in this blog highlight key trends and challenges shaping manufacturing digitalization, offering strategic guidance for industry leaders and technology vendors.

The telecoms industry has hit an inflection point, with a newfound focus on computing-centric applications. This marks the era where communications alone is no longer enough for telcos to drive the revenue growth they seek. At Mobile World Congress 2025 (MWC25), ABI Research analysts observed this transformation unfolding across the exhibition floor. As the event highlighted Artificial Intelligence (AI), edge computing, and data-driven solutions over conventional hardware, the telco value chain emerged as a key area of change. Here are five compelling examples from MWC25, each revealing a piece of this industry-wide pivot.

Electricity consumption in data centers poses one of the biggest decarbonization challenges of our time. On one hand, there is a huge demand for energy-guzzling applications within the Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) and cloud computing domains. On the other hand, these technologies require an unprecedented amount of power to run. For example, some industry gurus have suggested that a single Large Language Model (LLM) interaction could have similar electricity consumption as leaving a low-brightness LED lightbulb on for an hour. Though data center electricity needs account for just 2% to 4% of total power in advanced economies today, digital technology growth will amplify their grid impact by 2030. 

As we inch closer to Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025, network Application Programmable Interfaces (APIs) are a hot ticket item within the telecoms industry. They are a way for telco operators to provide developers with access to network capabilities, enhancing user experience and offering more efficient services, while unlocking new features otherwise not possible. APIs have unlocked opportunities across supply chains, with notable successes including app stores like Apple's and Google's, cloud services like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Azure, and various consumer and enterprise services.

T-Mobile US is one of the most successful network carriers in the United States, generating US$66.2 billion in services revenue in 2024. It’s a household name in America, with its antennas and Millimeter Wave (mmWave) technologies being used to connect the Superdome in New Orleans for the Super Bowl. While everyone knows who T-Mobile is, few are familiar with the technological underpinnings of its forward-looking solutions.

We often take cellular connectivity for granted. Without it, we can’t text our friends, access email, or contact emergency services. For enterprises, a lack of mobile coverage means software tools are deemed worthless, vital communications get shut down, and operations come to a halt. Unfortunately, it’s not always possible to deliver fiber-based broadband due to geographical constraints and outdated infrastructure. Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) is a key connectivity solution that addresses these challenges as it does not require physical cable installation in a home or business.

The technology landscape is evolving rapidly, with new innovations shaping industries and driving global digital transformation. In 2025, businesses and solution providers will need to adapt to new technology trends if they want to stay one step ahead.

What Is Overall Equipment Effectiveness?

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a critical metric manufacturers use to measure and optimize production efficiency. It evaluates three key factors: availability, performance, and quality, helping to pinpoint bottlenecks, downtime, and inefficiencies in the production process.
