"The Internet will disappear. There will be so many IP addresses, so many devices, sensors, things that you are wearing, things that you are interacting with, that you won't even sense it. It will be part of your presence all the time. Imagine you...
How will incoming cellular technologies transform smart manufacturing? In the first installment in a new series on smart manufacturing technologies, UK-based global editor-in-chief editor James Blackman looks at the role of LTE and 5G in the future of manufacturing.
With the increasingly global adoption of LTE/4G technology, greater opportunities for private LTE networks are emerging. According to ABI Research, by 2025 those sectors using private LTE will create a market worth $16.3 billion – a CAGR of 45 per cent since 2018.
ABI...
