Antenna optimization plays a vital role in an ever-connected world. With 5G adoption and data generation skyrocketing, optimizing network performance is top-of-mind for enterprises and industries. Although 5G offers unprecedented bandwidth capacities and unlocks new use cases, it also requires 3X more energy to match the same coverage as a 4G/Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. Therefore, the telecommunications industry craves innovative ways to squeeze more network performance from less hardware.
The modern enterprise only uses about 5% of the data it generates. With so much vital information flying under the radar, companies are not always making the best business decisions. This challenge will only worsen if you do not adopt a data fabric.
Why Device Manufacturers and Chipset Vendors Are Increasingly Supporting Multi-Protocol Connectivity
Over the past 2 decades, the connected devices market has revolutionized daily life. With more than 55 billion connected devices forecast by the end of 2024, it’s evident that these technologies touch almost every aspect of our lives—from mobile devices and wearables to smart homes and industrial applications.
Digitalization of the retail industry has transformed how brands must account for customer experiences. Many consumers have been purchasing from retailers that allow them to virtually “try on” beauty and fashion products or see how a product looks in their living spaces. Extended Reality (XR)—including Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)—is the key enabler of these immersive and highly personalized shopping experiences. With 2 out of 3 consumers interested in using AR for shopping, retailers cannot ignore the appetite for XR-supported e-commerce. Additionally, and as will be pointed out later, XR can enrich in-store shopping as well.
Fleet management has experienced transformational advancements in digitalization over the past 2 decades. Primordial applications like vehicle tracking have evolved into real-time performance monitoring and video telematics. Current technology providers are continuing to push the innovation envelope, driving fleet management into another era of transformation.
Satellite imagery is rapidly emerging as an essential technology for industries requiring precise, continuous, and real-time monitoring solutions. It enables organizations to track everything from agricultural fields to military assets with unparalleled accuracy. As covered in ABI Research’s Satellite Imaging Platforms Developments & Outlook presentation, the technology is rapidly evolving and expanding its use cases across diverse industries.
SIM Card Demand to Recover in 2024, but Slow Down After
Global Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card shipments were down -7.2% in 2023, reaching 4.09 billion units. This downward growth trend was primarily caused by reduced demand for consumer electronics devices and a stronger-than-expected impact of eSIM in the United States.
Green hydrogen is emerging as an essential commodity for decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries. Unlike grey hydrogen, which is produced using natural gas and is carbon intensive, green hydrogen is generated using renewable energy sources. Therefore, it offers a sustainable alternative for industrial applications that are not candidates for electrification.
Supply Chain Control Towers (SCCTs) are increasingly crucial for businesses to gain real-time visibility and improve supply chain performance. For technology companies offering control tower solutions, successfully positioning your product requires strategic thinking, a deep understanding of your customer’s challenges, and the ability to demonstrate clear Return on Investment (ROI). This guide walks you through a 13-point checklist to effectively sell supply chain control tower solutions and provide a Unique Selling Point (USP) to potential customers.
