Communication Service Providers (CSPs) are overhauling networks for the Artificial Intelligence (AI) future: investing heavily in AI solutions to address current challenges, collaborating across organizations (e.g., Artificial Intelligence Operations (AIOps)), and reforming within them (e.g., centralizing AI teams). As comprehensive as these accommodations for...

Covid-19 caused supply-chain disruptions across vertical industries. The pandemic deepened market uncertainty and severely impacted the adoption of IoT. Healthcare was the main exception, as the global crisis expanded IoT use cases in production and logistics around healthcare products, as well as in hospitals...

The rarefied opportunity for telcos to reinvent themselves with private 5G, as more than just dinosaur utility pipes, is about to pass the operator community by, according to ABI Research. The window of opportunity, presented by spectrum liberalisation and stripped-back 5G systems, is “closing”...

Note, this is part of a forthcoming report on operator-run private 5G enterprise NOCs. Look out for the report next month; sign up here for the upcoming webinar on carrier-run private 5G enterprise NOCs, featuring ABI Research, Radisys, Vodafone and others. What do we think we know...

Revenues from the sale of cybersecurity solutions in the IoT sector will jump to $16.8 billion by 2026, according to ABI Research, as the number of IoT connections nearly triples from 8.6 billion to 23.6 billion connections in the same period. The growth forecast stretches...

The 5G smartphone market is now outperforming its predecessor generations, including Long Term Evolution (LTE) smartphones, on nearly every metric, including the number of mobile devices, subscribers, and networks available at launch. However, 5G brings with it a whole raft of technical challenges, features,...

What is asset tracking, anyway? And what is it worth? Because tracking of machine data, one way or another, is easily conflated with the internet-of-things (IoT) movement, at large. And we all know about the mad growth slated for general purpose IoT. Fifty billion...

Huawei’s success and market evolution are a contested topic nowadays, with critics arguing that the vendor is a front for the Chinese government, while several telco operators claim the Chinese vendor is continuously innovating in the industry and setting a new standard for client...

Short-term impacts from the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic on the burgeoning internet-of-things (IoT) market will see an 18 percent slump in new wide-area connections in 2020 compared with previous forecasts. However, the IoT sector will find its mark in the longer-term as the planet adjusts...

Analyst house ABI Research has pulled together its big guns in each vertical sector to consider how technologywill change things in 2020 – or, rather, how it won’t. Some seasonal Scrooge-like myth-busting is timely and much-needed, it says. “Knowing what won’t happen in technology in...

The global manufacturing sector will spend over $1 trillion on smart software, hardware and services in 2030, almost quadrupling the $259 billion spend in 2019.  The volume of wireless connections, including LTE and 5G, as well as low-power wide-area (LPWA) technologies and Wi-Fi, will spiral...

Digital twins of smart cities will number 500 by 2025, from a handful today, according to ABI Research. The concept of digital twins will start move from smart factories, where spatial modelling is starting to be used to show the interplay between physical environments...

There should be few excuses for cyber attacks, and the buck stops with senior managers for failing to prevent and minimise their impact, even as the volume of connected ‘things’ spirals upwards and the threat landscape spreads outwards. This is the view of industry commentators,...

Smart meters have provided a read-out on energy consumption and a window on energy usage. They have brought insight and control to the field of energy management, both sides of the meter. They are, in a sense, the gateway devices for these concepts of...
