Hyperscalers’ growing influence is reshaping traditional telco value chains. For CSPs and telecom suppliers, these changes represent significant market opportunities if they can strategically align and evolve their offerings.
The telecom landscape is changing fast, and hyperscalers like Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web...
Wireless technology has revolutionized the way businesses operate, connecting employees and devices seamlessly. However, with the increasing use of wireless technology comes the need for proper installation and maintenance to ensure network security. Whether you're a business owner or a corporate IT professional, understanding...
From AI-capable endpoint devices to autonomous systems, IoT developers are building a diverse ecosystem of products and services, only set to grow. The number of IoT connected devices worldwide is projected to reach over 15 billion in 2023. MicKinsey estimates its market value will...
How do you measure the success of a new technology? Do you review adoption numbers? User satisfaction? What about the ecosystem that builds around the technology including equipment manufacturers and solution providers? Does unlocking new use cases factor into the value proposition? Does solving...
The noise level in the tech industry is a loud and chaotic. In order to be seen and heard, every company must punch their way through this noise. Companies get help doing this with ad agencies, PR, Industry Analysts, Influencers and the media. Let’s...
The second best thing to making a full-circle pivot to zero emission is to reduce your current footprint – with miles that are not driven, flights that are not taken, and energy that is not consumed. Indeed, while we transition to a completely emission-neutral...
Massive IoT – or massive machine-type communications (mMTC) – is all around us. We live in a vast connected ecosystem of data-gathering applications that draw on comparatively low levels of data at source but which, when aggregated by application vendor or enterprise user, is...
Digital transformation of supply chains has solidified as a boardroom topic over the past 12 months. While this drive for industrial change can be attributed to international developments, it is also true that many companies now clearly see the benefits of adopting new digital...
The benefits of machine learning have been abundantly clear for decades, but perhaps nowhere more so than in the field of medicine. With physics-based simulations, 3D modeling, and machine learning methods, medical professionals and researchers have made significant strides in numerous specialties. While there...
There is a clear dichotomy in the cellular IoT market – high-throughput and high-power IoT applications powered by advanced 4G (LTE) and 5G at one end, and low-throughput and low-power applications powered by cellular IoT technologies like NB-IoT and LTE-M at the other. And...
Data is vital for monitoring the environment to improve the way increasingly scarce resources are used. The ability to monitor the systems that manage those resources anywhere on the globe is also vital, but it can be a challenge. Cellular 3G and 4G technologies...
For IoT developers, safely testing products, sharing experiences, and understanding how to overcome complex challenges are critical to designing functional technologies. Community networks offer a great avenue for developers to share their information with a larger audience.
Community networks, such as The Things Network, Helium,...
The CAT-1 LTE modem was initially defined in 2008 as a low-cost, low-power alternative to connect IoT devices that needed to transfer limited amounts of data. However, vendors and network providers at that time focused on higher throughput. The actual device introduction started about...
Earlier this year, Transforma Insights undertook a survey of 1,100+ enterprises in the US and Europe, asking about their buying behaviour and vendor preferences cellular IoT connectivity. As part of that survey, we asked respondents which connectivity providers they were aware of, which they...
Brace yourself: Winter is coming and this year looks tough. The double whammy of tight energy supplies and rising costs are placing pressure on consumers around the world. To make matters worse, Europe is already flagging energy restrictions. In Italy, for example, buildings will...
Wi-Fi has transformed our homes and workplaces by enabling device mobility and IoT applications. Since the introduction of Wi-Fi 6 in 2019, communities and enterprises have used it to support a host of applications. Wi-Fi 6 incorporates a number of enhancements that have made...
Infrastructure is at the root of virtually every aspect of the modern world, and the backbone of that infrastructure is the construction that makes it a reality. Without sound infrastructure in a community, the livelihoods of people and businesses are at stake — yet...

A long-time pain for many businesses has been dealing with poor indoor cellular coverage. Fortunately, recent advances in cellular technology have given rise to a more modern approach to improving in-building cellular coverage.
The emergence of new shared cellular spectrum options, such as Citizen’s Band...
Internet of Things (IoT) as described by its name, is the internet of the “things” or physical objects that are embedded with software, sensors, and communication technology. It is a network of physical objects. The objective of connecting these devices called “things” is to...
As the modern-day enterprise continues growing in complexity, so too does the data used within it – both in nature and usage. This is especially true of businesses employing IoT networks. Connected devices are becoming increasingly more sophisticated in terms of their functionality and...
More isn’t always better. Despite the Internet of Things (IoT) growing to 15 billion worldwide devices next year, many are cheap in price and quality. The result is lowering cybersecurity and overloading networks at a time when devices are increasingly entering the home and...
There were two high profile pieces of M&A news in the IoT hardware space in the last week. First up, on Friday 29th July, Telit and Thales announced that they were combining the assets of Telit with those of Thales’ IoT hardware business into...
We are in the middle of a climate crisis, and enterprises must take swift action to reassess their energy consumption and carbon emissions. Thirty-four percent of energy consumption in the U.S. is wasted, and something needs to be done.
How are businesses cutting emissions with...
