In the age of Industry 4.0 and digital transformation, the need for effective security solutions in industrial environments is made more apparent. As a result, cybersecurity spending for critical infrastructure will reach roughly US$126 billion by the end of the year, with Information Technology (IT) being the leading use case. While critical infrastructure—defense, energy, health, transport, etc.—has been the main adopter of industrial cybersecurity solutions, more sectors will begin to invest in security in an ever-connected world. There are seven areas of focus when it comes to solutions:
As cities account for the majority of carbon emissions on our planet, sustainability efforts should start here. And what better way to see green initiatives, projects, and investment programs in action than to check out seven real-world examples of the most sustainable cities in the world?
As pointed out in our recent blog post, decarbonizing urban transportation is crucial in creating and maintaining a sustainable city. Many metropolitan areas have come a long way in Electric Vehicle (EV) adoption, but the work toward sustainable mobility does not end there. Indeed, officials and operators should also consider the usefulness of micromobility, smart parking applications, and urban traffic management for the future of transportation.
By 2027, the smart home hardware market will be a US$18 billion opportunity in Asia-Pacific, an industry that has historically been dominated by the North American market and its vendors. However, that trend is over and vendors will increasingly have to adapt their smart home strategies and products in response to the impact of developing Chinese and Asia-Pacific smart home markets.
More than 70% of global carbon emissions come from cities, making metro regions the starting point for decarbonization efforts. To tackle climate change, city planners must pay close attention to the characteristics of the energy grid, building infrastructure, transportation, and waste management. In this post, we walk you through how to make a city more sustainable through these four key areas.
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.
