Joseph Biron, chief technology officer for IoT, PTC:
“At the turn of the decade, Harvard Business School professor Michael Porter and PTC president and chief executuve Jim Heppelmann laid out the industrial race for smart, connected products, and how the early movers stood to gain.
“Using...
Michael Kanellos, IoT analyst, OSIsoft:
1. IoT declares victory
“IoT projects are often portrayed as the quickest way to get yourself fired with, allegedly, ‘close to three fourths’ of IoT projects failing. In reality, success is the norm.
“Gartner’s Eric Goodness conducted a poll that 57 per...
Intel has acquired Habana Labs, an Israel-based developer of programmable deep learning accelerators for data centres, for around $2 billion. The purchase will spur Intel's efforts to bring increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to cloud and edge based silicon, notably for enterprise and industrial...
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...
Construction companies are quickly adopting artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, and IoT networking to drive efficiencies and maximize operating margins. That’s because tech companies have figured out how to make it easy.
As the engineering and construction industries continue to grow, especially in North America, an...
France-based Orange has followed Spanish telecoms operator Telefónica to announce a major strategic overhaul that places analytics and automation, to underpin both internal efficiencies and external services, at the heart of its its operations.
Orange, like Telefónica, said a major part of its future growth,...

The fear that AI will take away a significant number of jobs is somewhat exaggerated, says Rana Gujral. Gujral is the CEO of Behavioral Signals and an expert on AI. Behavioral Signals creates software that introduces emotional intelligence into speech...
As Moore's Law predicts the future of technologies, the performance of processors improves exponentially at regular intervals without changing the price, thus reducing the popularization threshold and cost of various new technologies.
This also happens to AI technologies. With the improvement of NPU computing capability...
5G deployments have only recently started, and releases beyond R15 will continue to tap into the tremendous potential of 5G. However, as a new generation of cellular technology typically appears every 8-10 years, 6G can be expected around 2030. 6G could offer high-fidelity holograms,...
This Appledore whitepaper shows how various operations functions fit together and how you can reduce the frequency of “re-invention”, by re-using both software and experience. It shows how CSPs can make 100:1 improvements in many cost and agility metrics and make agile innovation realistic.
And,...
The 5G telecommunications services market has an estimated value of $2 trillion worldwide. To claim their share, service providers need to adopt new ways of working that support novel business models built around the network as a platform for value creation. They need to...
Singapore, ranked the smartest city in the world in certain polls, has warned cities they must get a handle on artificial intelligence (AI) if they are to succeed as ‘smart cities’, trusted by citizens and enterprises to manage data correctly.
The warning came at Smart...
