Industry heavyweight Matt Hatton, Founding Partner at Transforma Insights and Toolbox expert contributor, quantifies the growth and adoption of AI.

Spanish telecoms and IT group Telefónica is willing to splash the cash to become a major player in the UK IT services market.

Sierra Wireless, a world leading MVNO and IoT solutions provider, today announced an expanded agreement with T-Mobile, the 5G leader, with the largest and fastest nationwide 5G network in the United States, bolstering its global Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) connectivity offering via its Smart Connectivity service.

A group of independent analysts closed MWC Barcelona 2022 with a determination to uncouple open radio access network (RAN) hype from reality.

Semtech, which owns and licences the LoRa technology for LPWA applications, says the hybrid IoT trend is real for a number of enterprise sectors.

Is there a trend for hybrid IoT, to marry together different radio technologies to serve different use cases? Well, yes there is; but, then, there always has been.

This discussion is missing something, of course; IoT is not supposed to be written about as an environmental risk. The idea that billions of disposable trackers might litter the planet is an alarmist angle, arguably, on a tech-for-good story. Because, in most cases, the mission to attach sensors across all of public and private society is geared to drive efficiencies, and in many cases those efficiencies are directly or indirectly linked to energy-burning actions.

At Transforma Insights we have recently invested a lot of effort developing a comprehensive set of Artificial Intelligence (AI) forecasts. The approach that we took was bottom-up, seeking to identify where, and why, AI is deployed. In this article we discuss some of the high level results, in particular examining the symbiotic relationship that exists between AI and the Internet of Things (IoT).
