The big news in IoT connectivity this week was the announcement that SoftBank was acquiring automotive-focused MVNO Cubic Telecom at a staggering valuation of EUR927 million. This blog post examines the deal and what the implications might be.

Transforma Insights’ recent report, ‘Digital Transformation in the Transportation and Storage Sector’ identifies seven key domains of change in the transportation and storage sector enabled by disruptive technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things. In this blog post, we explore each of these digital solutions and delve into their potential effects in real-world implementations.

In November 2023, Brad Canham attended the Applied AI Conference. In this blog post he explores some of the key themes, the processes around practical Generative AI prompts, as well as how this approach to tasks shifts structural work processes, ideation and imagination towards this new era.

In this blog post we explore the commoditisation of telecoms networks and why there are reasons to expect that the network will increasingly become a differentiator in the next few years.

In this blog post, Matt Hatton explores the emerging bifurcation in wide area IoT connectivity between high bandwidth datastreams and low bandwidth sensors, and the irony of having a single technology for the former and a fragmentation set of alternatives for the latter.

Transforma Insights recently published a report, ‘Waste Management: 2.9 million devices by 2032 to manage waste effectively and sustainably’, which discusses in detail how implementing waste management systems can help efficiently manage waste collection, reduce associated costs, and promote more sustainable ways to ensure proper collection and disposal of garbage. This blog discusses how vacuum tube systems are implementing IoT, their benefits, and the associated shortcomings that may hamper their adoption.

Transforma Insights recently published a report ‘Rail Transport: Generating USD886 million in annual IoT revenue by 2032’ , which discussed in detail how railways are incorporating IoT connectivity to ensure timely and sustainable transportation of passengers and freight. In this blog, we discuss how IoT has been implemented in rail transport, what limits the adoption of technology, and what the future holds for such devices in the industry.

Transforma Insights’ recent report, 'What is Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) and what are its key applications?’ provides a background on MEC as a technology and examines its potential use cases and applications from an enterprise perspective. This blog defines MEC, discusses some of the prominent use-cases as established by ETSI (the European standards body for telecommunication), and the increasing dominance of Private MEC across different industry verticals.
