Intel and MediaTek this week announced a major new foundry partnership, in which MediaTek will manufacture chips targeting Internet of Things (IoT) and edge applications using Intel Foundry Services’ (IFS) advanced process technologies. This new strategic partnership is not only a significant win for both parties but will also have profound impacts on the global chipset supply chain and U.S. chipset ecosystem, significantly helping these industries in their efforts to delocalize manufacturing processes away from Asian (Chinese) dominance and closer to American Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).
The robotics industry is becoming more mature as companies aim to boost productivity in the workplace and make up for the shortcomings they face. Robotic deployments can automate labor-intensive, repetitive, and hazardous tasks to keep human workers fresh and healthy, while also speeding up the time it takes to accomplish those tasks. To stay informed, here are five trends that are dominating the robotics industry.
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic putting a strain on capital expenditure (CAPEX) in many industries, 5G investments were largely spared, as countries like China and South Korea go all-in with 5G rollouts. In ABI Research’s latest 5G market forecast for the years 2022 to 2027, it’s clear that adoption is destined for rapid growth and will shift from a minuscule slice of the network market to the largest network by 2026. Moreover, market data from some other reports, such as a 5G Advanced whitepaper and the IoT Tracker: 5G report—add more credence to the notion that 5G is rapidly overtaking 4G/LTE. In this post, we take a closer look at the 5G market forecast with eight eye-opening stats that every service provider needs to know to plan for success.
There’s nothing more fascinating than uncovering the development of certain technologies and how these came to be in today’s form. Cellular standards are no stranger to politics, lobbying, intense competition, patent disputes, and many other commercial rivalries. The choice of technologies in The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is one of these contested domains, where companies compete to promote their own technology choices, giving them a significant competitive advantage when they have a strong patent portfolio in the area. Channel coding is one of those areas, where interesting developments took place with 5G.
Although Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) is far from being well-established, Communication Service Providers (CSPs), such as telco and infrastructure providers, need to plan their next moves now if they want a slice of the potential US$75 billion market. NaaS is the logical evolution of enterprise networking in a world that shows a preference for dematerialization and enhanced user experiences. In this post, we define what NaaS is, explain how it's changing the telecommunications industry, and list 6 of the top NaaS providers that are targeting enterprise customers.
Chemical manufacturers are often skeptical of making operational changes as it’s taken decades to establish industry norms. But in the face of an aging workforce and pressures to be more sustainable, chemical manufacturers must embrace technological innovation to meet their strategic goals. Growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6% between 2022 and 2031, spending on digital transformation in the chemical industry will reach US$7.4 billion by 2031.
If there was only one place to learn about the future of connected vehicle services, it would be at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). During CES 2022, Android Automotive announced new exciting connected vehicle features like Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) activation, YouTube integration with Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS), and the availability of third-party navigation and charging apps.
Commercial sUAS (Drone) Market Trends, Stats, Forecasts, Products, Services, Industries, and Regions
A Small Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS), also known as a drone, was not long ago considered a rare commercial deployment. But today, the drone market encompasses a wide array of industries and use cases. Global sUAS drone ecosystems are expected to surpass the 3 million mark by 2025 and grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 25%.
Once the go-to solution for an enterprise wireless network, Wi-Fi 5 is nearing its demise. By 2025, Wi-Fi 5 will be near obsolete, as Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E, and Wi-Fi 7 offer superior performance in a world where enterprises introduce more and more connected devices to their work environments. To avoid getting caught off-guard, equipment vendors must learn where the greatest demands lie within the world of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) network solutions.
Few would argue that the automotive industry can be complex. Everything from model design to after-sales services requires a large sum of resources and pinpoint accuracy. To ease the pain, Augmented Reality (AR) can enhance nearly every facet of car manufacturing because it allows assembly line workers to go hands-free. Besides, most carmakers already have existing platforms that can take advantage of AR.
