A private cellular network—what the 3GPP standards refer to as a “non-public network”—is an isolated network which restricts the devices that connect to it. Public cellular networks initially carried primarily voice traffic, but data traffic now dominates these networks. This includes internet access and an ever-increasing percentage of vid...

The first generation of wireless communication technology (1G) was introduced when NTT launched the first commercial cellular network in Tokyo in 1979. Successive generations have followed approximately every 10 years. Analog voice was the primary 1G service; 2G brought digital voice and introduced data services with text messages. Internet access ...

COVID-19 has put companies' contingency plans to a prolonged test regardless ot their size or industry, and changed the way they conduct business and prepare for the future. Agility was crucial: those that were not prepared to make quick changes or rapidly implement business continuity plans struggled to survive. The pandemic has brought into fous ...

The study covers Internet of Things (IoT) and its impact on future of consumption. With more than 8 connected devices for each human by 2026, the scope of the industry will expand manifold. IoT adoption and usage patterns will vary across regions, which will in turn affect the demand for connectivity, infrastructure, and devices. However, digital e...

Supply chain in any organization is literally its backbone. Cutting across a range of functions, it traverses across the life cycle of a product. Even a slight impediment can affect the entire value chain, run schedules off track, and significantly hamper productivity and efficiency. As companies struggle with visibility and transparency in the tra...

The Frost & Sullivan Information, Communications & Technologies team of analysts has released the Internet of Things (IoT) Platforms Frost Radar, a robust analytical tool that benchmarks companies’ innovation focus and growth performance in the IoT platforms market. IoT is a complex ecosystem that integrates Information technology (IT) with oper...
