The Transforma Insights Blog

The Connectivity Management Platform is one of the underlying pieces of middleware used to support cellular connections in IoT. As examined in a recent Transforma Insights Position Paper it is undergoing a period of significant transition currently. This blog post explores some of the key themes.

LPWA technologies are set to be the dominant connectivity solution for wide-area wireless connected IoT devices by the mid-2020s. In this blog post we explore the different growth trajectories for LPWA versus the other ‘traditional’ cellular technologies, based on data extracted from the highly granular Transforma Insights IoT Forecast Database.

In February 2023, Transforma Insights published a report, ‘Environment Monitoring: 80.5 million connected devices by 2032, generating USD677 million revenue’, which primarily focused on how the Internet of Things (IoT) is being used for a wide range of environment monitoring including industrial air, water and noise pollution, nuclear radiation, odour detection, river water pollution and dust monitoring. In this blog post, we examine the reasons behind IoT's application for environmental monitoring, the major technologies involved, governmental initiatives and related business models.

In this blog, we focus on the demand for, and benefits of, smart parking solutions along with certain barriers that limit their adoption. The concluding part of the blog focuses on the scope and the future of the parking space monitoring market.

Work is underway in the European Commission to develop regulations for Artificial Intelligence (AI). To help build a resilient ‘Europe for the Digital Decade’, the European Commission asserts that people and businesses should be able to enjoy the benefits of AI while feeling safe and protected. The European AI Strategy intends to make the EU a world-class hub for AI and ensure that AI is human-centric and trustworthy. The aim is that such an objective translates into a European approach to excellence and trust through concrete rules and actions. In this blog we outline some key aspects of the emerging legislation (that is still subject to refinement) together with some of the potential implications of the approach being taken.

Transforma Insights recently published a report ‘Digital Transformation in the Healthcare Sector’, providing our view of the key areas of change within the healthcare sector that are enabled by emerging digitally transformative technologies. This blog post examines some of the key themes.

Every quarter the Transforma Insights team tracks how many cellular IoT connections are reported by mobile network operators (MNOs) around the world. The end year figures are particularly important as they're (a) more accurately reported and (b) critical for how we benchmark the whole year.

Our analysts were recently at both the Mobile World Congress and Embedded World events which are key ones for the IoT space. Across both events the key theme can be summed up in one word: transition. This blog post explores some of the key IoT Transition Topics.

In February 2023, Transforma Insights published a report, ‘ Container Tracking: Real-time visibility and monitoring dominated by satellite connectivity’, which primarily focused on the current state and future prognosis of IoT-based tracking of refrigerated and dry freight containers along with the management of goods that are transported through them. In this blog, we will not only focus on the objectives and benefits of container tracking but will also throw light on the technological advancement and the current regulatory norms that are shaping the market. Besides, the concluding part of the blog will focus on the scope and the future of the container tracking market.

In February 2023 Transforma Insights published the latest iteration of its Communications Service Provider IoT Peer Benchmarking report. This blog post provides a summary of the key themes.
