This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the In-Vehicle Navigation market. The In-Vehicle Navigation market includes applications used to navigate and provide routing to drivers. These applications have multiple features such as finding a specific location, determining the best route, real-time traffic updates, points of interest, offline map updates, and weather forecasts. In-Vehicle Navigation can be hosted on factory-fit vehicle head units or on dedicated aftermarket devices. Additionally, smartphones can also be used to access these applications, as they provide turn-by-turn navigation through apps such as Google Maps and Apple Maps. These apps have increased competition for both navigation applications embedded on vehicle head units and aftermarket devices. 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 break-downs and public/private network splits, is available through the IoT Forecast tool.

Cellular IoT connectivity has become an essential part of many industries and is important for applications such as connected cars, smart meters, wearables, asset trackers and more. With strong integration of the technology within industries and national infrastructure, telecom operators or M2M service providers (M2MSP) are often required to ensure traceability of SIMs through robust Know Your Customer (KYC) processes. In the context of telecommunication services, KYC regulations are rules that telecom operators or IoT service providers must follow to verify the identity of the customer before provisioning a SIM. Maintaining an accurate and up-to-date record of ownership and usage can help prevent misuse of cellular connections and ensure accountability. The KYC regulatory requirements related to SIMs in IoT devices can vary a lot across countries. Some countries may see it as an important area to consider for a security-focused IoT approach while others may not as crimes related to IoT communications are currently few compared to regular phone SIMs. This report focuses on KYC rules and guidelines related specifically to IoT (or M2M) SIMs and eSIMs. As there are very few countries that have KYC rules explicitly related to IoT SIMs, we have also sought to interpret the existing phone SIM rules (both for physical SIMs and eSIM) and check if they also apply to IoT SIMs. The findings of this report are based on responses received from in-country regulators in response to our enquiries, and also information available on regulator websites and government documents (or similar) found through secondary research. The purpose of this document is to help companies understand the KYC regulatory landscape and support compliance for IoT connectivity service providers.

The report examines the capabilities of IBM in Digital Transformation. It provides a comprehensive review of the products, services, and capabilities of IBM across 11 technology areas and dozens of functions, to determine the core strength of IBM for meeting enterprises’ 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 may not encompass every possible technology that organisations may 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, and field & operational services) using Transforma Insights’ 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, IBM is rated for whether its capabilities are ‘Emerging’, ‘Significant’, ‘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).
