The Transforma Insights Blog

In this blog post, Matt Hatton considers the growing requirement for IoT use cases to support voice and the increasing obligations on the part of IoT connectivity providers to implement a scalable VoLTE/VoNR/IMS capability to support it.

In this blog, we provide a brief introduction to disposable trackers and how we expect these low-cost, lightweight, small, battery-powered devices to grow rapidly.

The arrival of the SGP.32 ‘IoT’ remote SIM provisioning standard looms large over providers of cellular-based IoT connectivity this year. In this blog post Matt Hatton looks at some of the key themes related to the new technology.

In the last couple of years, leading technology companies including Accenture, Alphabet, Databricks, and Microsoft have been heavily investing to enhance their AI capabilities, including with M&A. A recent Transforma Insights study examines the key trends in AI M&A. This blog post examines the geographical angle to that analysis.

Can Smart Services unlock the digital transformation of the Smart Buildings sector? Technology industry analyst firm Transforma Insights thinks that it certainly can help. In a report titled, ‘Digital Transformation in Smart Buildings’, Transforma Insights identified and highlighted nine key areas (including Smart Services) where disruptive technologies are contributing to the digital transformation of the sector. This article offers a comprehensive overview of Smart Services, with a primary focus on its three key aspects: Smart Restrooms, Smart Cleaning, and Smart Pest Control. It also delves into the benefits of these services for businesses, explores the vendors providing these solutions, and highlight some enterprises that have successfully implemented them.

Communications Service Providers are faced with choosing between a plethora of different strategies for addressing the IoT market, reflecting the rapidly evolving technical and commercial landscape. In this blog post, Matt Hatton presents a view of what strategies are likely to be the best for most MNOs/MVNOs related to IoT.

The construction industry around the world has an ongoing challenge with worker safety. The use of technologies such as the Internet of Things and AI may hold the key to substantially improving worker safety. In this blog post we revisit some of the key ways in which disruptive technologies are affecting the construction industry (as discussed in our report ‘Digital Transformation in the Construction Sector’), with a particular focus on how they can be used to make improvements in worker safety.

In an era where connectivity is a key aspect of our daily life, the aviation industry is gearing up to reach new heights by embracing the implementation of 5G connectivity in airplanes. This technological leap not only promises enhanced in-flight experiences for passengers but also improves safety, operational efficiency, and communication between aircraft and ground control. This blog post focuses on the implementation of cellular connectivity on airplanes with the aim of eliminating the need for airplane mode, enabling passengers to remain connected throughout their flight.

Transforma Insights’ recent report, 'Connected Batteries: 180 million battery devices driven by falling costs and growth in renewable energy’ estimates that by 2032, the number of connected batteries will exceed 180 million, with a CAGR of more than 30%, and Greater China, Europe, and North America will be the largest markets. This blog focuses on different types of Connected Batteries based on their usage, the uses of connected batteries, the reasons that are driving the adoption of these batteries, and their scope across developing economies.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has been making inroads into various sectors, and public transportation is no exception. Passenger buses, once considered a traditional mode of travel, have now evolved into smart and efficient means of transportation, primarily owing to the integration of IoT technology. This blog focuses on the use of IoT in passenger buses and its far-reaching benefits.
