The Transforma Insights Blog

The emergence of advanced AI applications is acting as a catalyst for the development of advanced and sophisticated AI chips. In this blog, we will provide a brief overview of the AI chipsets market (which has been discussed in detail in our ‘AI Chipsets: cloud AI drives scale, AIoT drives innovation’ report), with a focus on cloud chip IP and a brief introduction to a range of AI chipset vendors.

This blog explores why countries are adopting unmanned vehicles in their defence systems, the challenges these vehicles face in military settings, and the steps that governments have taken towards their deployment.

This blog delves into the markets for AI-enabled IoT integrated propositions, providing some illustrative examples of each of the major categories of providers of integrated solutions.

With the Super Bowl looming on Sunday, this blog post explores how the NFL and other sports make use of AI and other disruptive technologies to enhance performance, improve security and engage fans, amongst other things.

Matt Hatton shares a highly selective set of trends from his visit to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, taking in regulation, security, global trade, AI, IoT, satellite and much more.

In the last few months the topic of 4G switch-off/refarming has become increasingly commonly discussed. The logic of refarming less spectrally efficient 4G to more spectrally efficient 5G, as well as rationalising the number of networks being operated, is inescapable. The question is when? In this blog post we offer a few thoughts on the likely timings of 4G switch-off.

As we come to the end of 2024, here’s a little recap of the most popular Transforma Insights reports, blog posts, webinars and white papers of the year.

In this blog post we examine the impact of AI on the environment, in terms of energy, water and CO2, as well as some of the initiatives that are already under way to mitigate the impact.

This blog explores one of the most significant transformations occurring in the transportation and storage sector, Supply Chain Transparency. It explains its drivers and how improving supply chain transparency can benefit businesses.

One of the current areas of technology development that most grabs the imagination and has the potential for disruption of the status quo is autonomous vehicles. In most cases this focuses on passenger vehicles. However, Transforma Insights recently published a report, ‘Autonomous Road Freight Vehicles: 1.1 million revenue generating units by 2033 to support road freight operations’, which discusses in detail how one branch of autonomous vehicles, those for transporting freight, can revolutionise goods transportation with minimal human intervention. Even though the size of the market is relatively small today, it is poised for rapid expansion, driven by various benefits that will be briefly discussed in this blog. In it, we explore the need for autonomous road freight vehicles, their benefits, regulatory landscape in selected regions, and notable vendors operating in this dynamic market.
