The latest research from Transforma Insights indicates that 5G will grow to account for more than 80% of IoT connectivity revenue by 2040, but mostly by virtue of future-proofing; advanced functionality enabled by 5G Standalone (SA) is not expected to accelerate MNO revenues significantly.

A new report published today by Transforma Insights provides an extensive analysis of the revenue opportunity associated with 5G IoT connectivity, with a particular focus on the additional functionality delivered by 5G Stand Alone. The report details the plethora of features of 3GPP releases 15 to 19 that could be applied to IoT – including higher bandwidth (eMBB), real-time communications (URLLC), and Quality-on-Demand – and quantifies the impact that they will have on MNOs’ IoT connectivity revenue.

IoT continues to be a dynamic and evolving field, with 2025 set to bring key transitions in technology, market dynamics, and regulatory frameworks. Transforma Insights has outlined ten critical themes, or ‘Transition Topics’, expected to shape the IoT landscape in 2025, and set to form the backbone of its 2025 research agenda. These topics encompass AI integration, connectivity, regulations, geopolitics, and verticalisation, each holding significant implications for IoT adopters and vendors. In this article we briefly explore these pivotal trends.

Does AT&T’s decision to ditch NB-IoT in the US, confirmed in RCR Wireless last week, spell the end for this clever and brave little IoT network technology? Just as a technology, the answer is: no, probably not – at least until LTE, whose ‘guardband’ it occupies, is retired in the middle of next decade. But as a global one, the answer is: yes, surely – that this finally explodes the hair-brained notion that NB-IoT was ever a global solution in its own right. It was, and will surely remain, a rather parochial affair.

Governments around the world are grappling with the challenge of providing a safe and liveable environment for their citizens, but with increasing global population crime rates are increasing in many parts of the world.

At this year’s Mobile World Congress Las Vegas, we sat down with Robert Hamblet, the Founder, CEO & President of TEAL to discuss how TEAL; as an eSIM-first company, was well positioned to embrace the new market realities of SGP.32 remote SIM provisioning technology.

Leading technology analyst firm Transforma Insights unveils its key ‘Transition Topics’ that will shape the Internet of Things landscape during 2025. Every year Transforma Insights publishes its list of IoT ‘Transition Topics’ highlighting where we expect to see seismic change occurring during the year. This year the list focuses on the application of Artificial Intelligence to IoT, the shift towards 5G, changing commercial dynamics and the growing impact of IoT regulations.

A few dozen ChatGPT queries cost a bottle’s worth of water. Tech firms should consider simpler solutions, like harvesting rainwater, to meet AI’s needs

In a recent report “Digital Transformation in the Transportation and Storage Sector”, Transforma Insights identifies seven domains of change in the transportation and storage sector, that are enabled by disruptive technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI). This article focuses on critical aspects of last-mile delivery, highlighting advantages for businesses. We discuss key digital solutions essential for addressing last-mile supply chain challenges, such as drones, sidewalk autonomous delivery robots, mobile robotic stores, and the utilisation of smart lockers and mailboxes.
