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.
Data centers are the backbone of modern business and consumer applications, hosting vast amounts of information in the cloud. Everything from Artificial Intelligence (AI) use cases to online gaming platforms rely on data centers for proper data storage and management. As the world becomes more digitally native, data centers will generate higher Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and deplete more of Earth’s natural resources. This makes the need for green data centers all the more dire as governments race to meet global net-zero goals.
A key theme at MWC 2024 was sustainability, and reducing energy costs is now a key concern and priority for all mobile operators. Although the discussion nowadays focuses mostly on active antennas and how network operators can deploy 5G, most global networks are still powered by passive antennas, which are also following sustainability enhancements. These are now referred to as “high-efficiency” antennas, highlighting that their design, manufacturing, operation, and technology are taking sustainability into account. These antennas have recently taken a significant step toward being adopted in the mainstream, from previously being discussed as a theoretical concept. These traditional passive antennas have inherent energy losses, achieved through both their design and the manufacturing process, which all add to increased energy output, and thus more Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions. With base stations and their attached antenna units totaling 57% of all electrical power consumption in the passive antenna network, this is a key area for vendors to target in reducing their energy output while increasing their Radio Frequency (RF) efficiency.
The year 2024 is set to be a big one for sustainability. Governments worldwide have introduced various policies in recent years that will drive further enterprise investment in green technologies in 2024. Sustainability has ingrained itself into corporate strategies as companies look to appease eco-conscious consumers and adhere to new green regulations. What will this year bring in terms of net-zero emissions efforts? How are enterprises reacting to increased demand to reduce carbon footprints? How can this be achieved? In this post, we’ll share five unique sustainability trends pulled from ABI Research’s annual trends whitepaper.
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.
There is a 90% chance that the average global temperature will be warmer within the next five years than the previous five-year span, according to a recent update from The World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Just as alarming, the research also suggests that there’s an 86% likelihood that the planet will experience its hottest year on record by 2028. To help combat these environemental calamities, numerous software companies are offering carbon accounting solutions for enterprises. This post lists 14 of these companies, with some being household names and others being early startups.
