Omdia’s latest research reveals that NB-IoT and LoRa will account for 87% of all LPWAN connections in 2028, strengthening their position in the LPWAN market with over 85% of the connections worldwide. Both technologies are in the sweet spot for mid-range IoT applications that are popular now. With sufficient differentiation between the two technologies, both are on track for success through the end of Omdia’s forecast in 2028.

Despite facing an increasingly volatile semiconductor industry plagued by ongoing macroeconomic and political issues, the secure microcontroller (MCU) market should fare well in the long term. While the forecasted total available market has contracted, especially in the smart home, retail, advertising, and supply chain spaces, secure MCU shipments will only be temporarily adversely affected. According to a new global technology intelligence firm ABI Research report, the secure microcontrollers market will grow to US$2.2 billion by 2026.

The Internet of Things (IoT) MVNO market is comprised of a broad range of companies, from disruptive startups to established players, with firms of varying sizes and geographic scopes. Global technology intelligence firm ABI Research predicts that growth in the IoT MVNO market will see participants’ total revenues exceed US$2.5 billion annually by 2026, representing a five-year CAGR of 18.5% since 2021.

Network connections are becoming more complex as more devices require connectivity from infinitely more locations. This proliferation of IoT has driven demand for software-defined solutions to optimize networking costs, improve enterprise agility/scalability, and enable the integration of cloud applications.

The Internet-of-Things is leaving an indelible mark on the economy because it opens entirely new ways for products and services—at both consumer and industrial levels—to interact with individuals, the cloud environment, and potentially thousands of applications.

A new analysis by ABI Research examines how the antenna market is evolving to address challenges specific to IoT. Increased radio complexity, device miniaturization, lower power consumption, and a complex certification landscape are among many factors making integration of antennas more difficult

Research firm Parks Associates finds that 16% of US broadband households report that home network problems have disrupted their work-at-home activities during COVID-19 and that 37% are interested in a service that monitors network traffic and devices on the network for malicious behavior.

In its new whitepaper, Connected & Protected: The Vulnerabilities and Opportunities of IoT Security, global tech market advisory firm ABI Research explores how the exponential growth in IoT connections will usher in a new era of connectivity and productivity along with a slew of new threat vectors and vulnerabilities.

Over these next few months, the post-pandemic landscape will begin to take shape. Technologies like 5G, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), IoT, and those enabling smart cities and the smart home will play pivotal roles in reshaping businesses, verticals, and economies around the world.

According to the latest research from Strategy Analytics, 5G comprised less than 1% of IoT connections in 2020 but will rise to 40% of all the overall connections by 2030, as highlighted in its most recent IoT Market Forecast and Analysis report.

The Oil & Gas (O&G) IoT Analytics market garners heavy investment, yet it is deeply challenged by complex system integrations, siloed data, and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) management systems. In-house analytics is no longer a sustainable and cost-effective IoT option, and oil & gas firms have widely recognized the expertise of IoT cloud Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)/SaaS vendors.

International research firm Parks Associates finds 67% of security system owners, which equates to 20% of all US broadband households, h

The technology developmental trend for pipeline therapeutic medical devices is shifting towards manufacturing portable, lightweight, and easy-to-use devices for patients, allowing for use in home settings. The integration of these devices with digital technologies aims to increase patient engagement and improve the treatment outcome.

The Internet of Things (IoT) gateways are becoming an increasingly important link in the IoT security and device authentication value chain and emerging as a crucial conduit for intelligent operations across the entire IoT. The new wave of next-generation smart IoT gateways has arrived at an opportune time, enabling a breadth of novel security, intelligence, and authentication operations at the edge

Strategy Analytics forecasts that sales of eSIMs for IoT applications will grow to 326 million by 2025, according to a new Strategy Analytics IoT Strategies report “How will eSIM Impact the Future of IoT and what are the Implications for Stakeholders?”

Due to the nature of cyber-physical systems (CPSs), incidents can quickly lead to physical harm to people, destruction of property or environmental disasters. Gartner analysts predict that incidents will rapidly increase in the coming years due to a lack of security focus and spending currently aligning to these assets.

As the IoT data-enabled services continue to expand, the market is approaching the stage of data democratization, where real-time analytics is very sought after. Currently, data integration, real-time stream processing, and analytics services are falling under the

According to Futuresource’s latest Consumer Electronics Retail Distribution report, around 10% of all global CE shipments were shipped through the vendor direct channel (i.e. through the vendors’ own physical or digital retail structure). This is driven primarily by the USA, UK and China, three retail landscapes where vendors are keen to control the consumer’s engagement with their products, manage upgrade cycles and drive upsell opportunities. This method of retail has supported Apple’s success since 2001, with the brand growing a strong retail business, which accounted for 31% of net sales in its’ 2018/19 financial year. While other vendors have had a physical footprint for far longer, using their stores to show-room their products and raise brand awareness, the ever-changing retail landscape is posing challenges to established vendors and retailers and forcing a rethink in strategy.
