2020 will be year
of Continuous
Intelligence in the IoT
analytics market
In 2020, there will be greater adoption of Continuous
Intelligence (CI) technologies, which will elevate IoT
data analytics way beyond
traditional operational levels and have a greater impact
on strategic planning and organizational change, states
global tech market advisory
firm ABI Research in a recent
whitepaper, 54 Technology
Trends to Watch in 2020.
"The concept of
Continuous Intelligence
(CI) will be consolidating
in the IoT analytics market,
enabling more advanced
analytics in near-real time,"
said Kater y na Dubrova,
M2M, IoT, and IoE analyst
at ABI Research. Since the
emergence and expansion
of streaming analytics and
streaming technologies, the
ability to continuously analyze and extract value from
the IoT data is growing. The
CI application will be possible because vendors are
offering E2E platforms, expanding their capabilities
through digital twinning,
big-data technologies, and
ML algorithms."
Four companies currently
supply most of the hundreds
of LTE-M and NB-IoT products now available. HiSilicon,
MediaTek, Qualcomm, and
RDA (UNISOC) dominate.
Jamie Moss, M2M, IoT, and
IoE research director at ABI
Research, said that the situation will only compound as
we move toward Release 16
and the full coexistence of
LTE-M and NB-IoT with 5G
NR, i.e., the 'official' start of
the mMTC market.

Report: Cellular vehicle-to-everything
market to exceed $800 million by 2025

EVALUATION ENGINEERING MARCH 2020

The cellular vehicle-to-everything market is predicted to exceed
$800 million by 2025, according to a report by Global Market
Insights Inc. The report sees the strong growth spurred by increases for safe and reliable road transportation, increased use
of autonomous vehicles, and more adoption of vehicle telematics
by logistics and transportation companies. Also cited were the
smart-city and IoT initiatives in developing countries, which
impact roadside infrastructure.
Advancements in cellular networks for the adoption of 5G networks, with their enhanced bandwidth capabilities, contribute
to cellular vehicle-to-everything market growth. Low latency
with 5G will help in the fast response needed for autonomous
driving, as well as in reducing accidents. The report also points
out that low latency will enhance reliability over extended communication ranges, improved non-line-of-sight performance,
and less interference from other devices.
The V2I communication segment is expected to grow at a
CAGR of over 12% over the forecast period due to the increase
in the adoption of smart traffic infrastructure. The smart traffic
infrastructure involves smart traffic signals and smart surveillance cameras. Traffic congestion can be alleviated through
alerts and suggested alternative routes to connected vehicles,
through projects such as one underway on a 537-mile network
in Colorado that employs V2X technology.
Hardware, including chipsets, modules, on-board units, and
roadside units are expected to hold a major share in 2025, but
the autonomous-driving application is expected to show the
fastest growth over the forecast period.

On Jan. 28, the British government announced that it will
permit the Chinese company
Huawei to help construct its
5G networks, in a move that
could damage intelligence
and trade connections with
the United States.
In a statement from the
government, the UK will be
permitting mobile operators
to Huawei equipment, but it
will not allow Huawei access
to "security critical" core areas. The U.S. has been exerting pressure for a total ban
on Huawei products, citing
security risks and potential
cyberattacks, and advising
that UK-U.S. intelligence sharing could be rescinded.
UK wireless networks already contain a weighty presence from Huawei, which has
had security agencies keeping
a watchful eye on the company since 2003.
Although Chinese law says
that Chinese companies can
be ordered to work under the
direction of Beijing, Huawei
has denied that it would cooperate with spying.
Huawei said in a statement
that it was "reassured" that
it would be able to continue
working with its UK customers on 5G, albeit in a restricted
role.
"We agree a diverse vendor
market and fair competition
are essential for network reliability and innovation, as well
as ensuring consumers have
access to the best possible
technology," Victor Zhang, a
vice president at Huawei.
