The main drivers behind the adoption of Track & Trace solutions are the prevention of theft or loss, reduction of operational losses and recall incidents, and optimisation of product lifecycle management. Previously, the loss of items (such as reusable assets) was outweighed by the cost of asset tracking, but as IoT technology is becoming cheaper, and asset losses increase as businesses expand, the utilisation of tracking devices is becoming increasingly viable. The application group is also witnessing a strong regulatory push for the monitoring of goods whilst in transit, particularly in the pharmaceutical and food industry. These regulations are an effort to reduce spoilage, contamination, and falsified items in these industries. This report summarises the status and forecasts from the Track & Trace Application Group found in the Transforma Insights Connected Things IoT forecast. The report provides a description of what is covered in the Application Group, as well as top-level figures from the forecast that provide detail on how many connected devices will be installed, the types of communication technology used and the total revenue opportunity. Full details are accessible through the IoT Forecast tool.

This report examines the capabilities of Kyndryl in Digital Transformation. It provides a comprehensive review of the products, services, and capabilities of Kyndryl across 11 technology areas and dozens of functions, to determine its core strengths for meeting enterprise needs. The 11 technology families in which the vendor’s capabilities are assessed are IoT, Hyperconnectivity, Human Machine Interface, Artificial Intelligence, Distributed Ledger, Data Sharing, Product Lifecycle Management, Robotic Process Automation, Edge Computing, Autonomous Robotic Systems, and 3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing. While these might not encompass every possible technology that organisations might need in order to pursue a Digital Transformation, they certainly represent the most disruptive, and therefore the ones of which enterprises should be most aware. The report includes rating across each of the technology areas and functional capabilities (specialised hardware, general hardware, software products, integrated solutions, application development, systems integration and project management, specialist services, field & operational services) using Transforma Insight’s four-level universal rating system for vendors in Digital Transformation. Internet of Things, for instance, spans hardware, software, application development, implementation, field services, and specialist services. For each of the 92 combinations of function and technology, Kyndryl is rated for whether its capabilities are ‘Emerging’, ‘Significant’ or ‘Market Leading’ (or ‘None’). This rating is based on both the credibility of the solution and the position of the offering in the market (e.g. market share).

This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the Infrastructure Monitoring IoT market. The report covers details on the evolution of infrastructure monitoring solutions. IoT plays an important role in monitoring infrastructure, including dams, tunnels, bridges, and pipelines by making sure that they can continue to function properly by detecting any faults at very early stages. This not only ensures a longer life for infrastructure, but it also proves to be of great economic value to the organisations deploying these IoT solutions with projects creating significant savings for operators. The report provides a detailed definition of the sector, analysis of market development and profiles of the key vendors in the space. It also provides a summary of the current status of adoption and Transforma Insights’ ten-year forecasts for the market. The forecasts include analysis of the number of IoT connections by geography, the technologies used (including splits by 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, LPWA, short range, satellite, and others), as well as the revenue split between module, value-added connectivity, and services. A full set of forecast data, including country-level forecasts, sector breakdowns and public/private network splits, is available through the IoT Forecast tool.

Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) have invested significant sums in upgrading to 5G. In increasing numbers they are also making the further step up to upgrading to a 5G Standalone (5G SA) core network. Much of the promise of 5G comes from the latter, giving MNOs the potential to deliver richer features and functionality including real-time latency, improved reliability, and ‘Quality on Demand’ type features. The combination of Network Exposure Function (NEF) and APIs also offers the potential to monetise 5G’s promise of the programmable network. In this report we explore the likely true revenue potential for MNOs by applying the additional capabilities of 5G (and particularly 5G SA) to the Internet of Things. The report starts with analysis of the key elements of 3GPP Releases 15 to 19 that relate to 5G and IoT. The includes the key functions of 5G New Radio in the form of enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) and massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC). It also considers features such as network slicing, 5G RedCap, Cellular-V2X, Non-Terrestrial Networks, Network Exposure Function, APIs, edge computing, and much more. Under each sub-section the report considers how the features and functionality could be applied to IoT. The report then goes on to quantify the market opportunity associated with all of the various elements. For the period 2025-2040 it provides a view on the IoT connectivity revenue that will be attributable to each of the features. It does so in three main categories: ‘5G SA’ (which uses the additional features provided by the core network upgrade), ‘5G NSA’ (which have a requirement for the capabilities of the 5G access network but not advanced SA capabilities) and finally ‘5G future-proof’ (which would be addressable with 4G, or below, networks, and will migrate to 5G by default rather than because they demand any 5G functionality). The modelling is done as an assessment of what proportion of the connectivity revenue of a European or North American MNO (along with their channels) might be accounted for by each of the revenue types. Finally, it examines some of the contingencies and dependencies that might influence the timing of such revenue opportunities and provides a set of conclusions and recommendations for MNOs.

This report discusses ‘Wi-Fi HaLow’, a Wi-Fi standard developed primarily to support IoT applications that require long range and extended battery life, which otherwise would mostly use LPWA technologies such as NB-IoT, LTE-M, Sigfox, and LoRaWAN. We discuss the energy-saving features of Wi-Fi HaLow that make it a potential contender technology for low-power and long-distance applications. The high data throughput and low latency capabilities offered by Wi-Fi HaLow allow businesses to consider the deployment of this network technology in contexts that might not suit the aforementioned LPWA technologies that transmit and receive small packets of data at low speeds. We examine the capabilities of Wi-Fi HaLow and discuss some of the stand-out features that make it suitable for a range of IoT use-cases. In addition, we compare Wi-Fi HaLow with the established LPWA network technologies namely, LoRaWAN, Sigfox, LTE-M, and NB-IoT, considering deployment parameters such as range, data rate, latency, power consumption, and chipset cost. The report also lists multiple real-world field trials that have tested the performance of Wi-Fi HaLow in multiple IoT contexts such as smart cities, smart warehouses, smart buildings, smart farming, smart school campuses, smart homes, and smart industrial facilities. Finally, the report lists some of the major vendors that provide Wi-Fi HaLow chipsets and modules.
