Wireless energy harvesting is rapidly gaining traction in the Internet of Things (IoT) industry as companies look for alternatives to traditional batteries and wired power. While there are several ways to enable energy harvesting, Radio Frequency (RF) harvesting has emerged as a transformative method.
The introduction of 5G Reduced Capability (RedCap) modules marks a critical step in the evolution of Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity. Positioned as a bridge from Long Term Evolution (LTE) to 5G, RedCap promises simplified, cost-efficient solutions for IoT devices across industries. However, ABI Research believes the viability and adoption of 5G RedCap hinges on four key factors:
The year 2024 provided numerous technology trends shaping the future of nearly every industry. ABI Research analysts have been covering these developments for some time, and now it’s time to reflect upon our studies in our annual trends whitepaper. Before we dive into the list, here’s a statement from Stuart Carlaw, Chief Research Officer:
5G New Radio (NR) Reduced Capability (RedCap) will revolutionize cellular connectivity by simplifying and lowering the cost of 5G for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The technology was finalized in The Third Generation Partnership Project’s (3GPP) Release 17 (R17). It is designed to facilitate a smooth 5G migration path for power-constrained devices currently using Long Term Evolution (LTE) Cat-4 and LTE Cat-6.
Working in a competitive industry demands that you become a data-driven organization. As a technology solution provider, effectively leveraging data can unlock significant advantages, such as driving market expansion and fostering innovation. Unfortunately, all too many companies lack an analytical approach to decision-making.
“Connect and Forget" Is Now a Distant Memory
In the early days of the Internet of Things (IoT) industry, Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) had clearly defined roles. Virtual network operators considered themselves network resellers, repackaging carrier connectivity at discounted rates and offering few additional services in the process.
Several ABI Research analysts made the trip to Las Vegas in January for the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024. Although geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions continue to cast a shadow over the technology world, CES 2024 had no shortage of excitement and optimism. Our analysts heard plenty of talks from vendors and enterprise end users about investments, partnerships, new technology adoption, and applications. If you missed CES 2024, we would like to share intriguing highlights from five of our analysts who attended the show, each covering a different technology area.
Few technologies receive as much attention today as the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT adoption goes hand-in-hand with a company’s digitization efforts, providing actionable insight and real time data into operations. IoT devices and service use cases continue to expand and offer organizations essential data to improve how they do business. As solution providers compete with one another to differentiate their offerings, several IoT trends are emerging. Here are five of those key trends to track in 2024, as reported in ABI Research’s 82 Technology Trends That Will—And Will Not—Shape 2024. Before we look into our analysts’ future predictions, let’s review some of the most notable IoT statistics our analysts have compiled.
Market research goes hand-in-hand with maximizing profits at a business enterprise. Whether you’re a vendor or an enterprise implementer of a new technology, in-depth, data-backed intelligence can safely guide your organization toward sustained success. Technology research deliverables identify potential roadblocks and lucrative revenue opportunities for organizations, while giving you a reliable partner to consult with when questions about your respective market inevitably arise. Take, for example, the technology market research case studies we recently compiled, showcasing how our forward-looking methodologies help some of our biggest clients with their digitization journeys. In this blog post, let’s review four of these case studies to give you a better idea of what kind of results you can expect from ABI Research as a technology intelligence partner.
Optimizing the Internet of Things (IoT) hardware development process is integral to making your vision for a product a reality. An efficient development process leads to quicker Time to Market (TTM) and more realistic product design prototypes to test. Due to the introduction of newer connectivity technologies in recent years, IoT solution developers have felt the pressure to make several adjustments in their development processes. This is a rapidly evolving technology space, with different suppliers, components, and elements involved. It’s worth discussing the following trends in IoT development:
