What volume of data are we talking about? The estimate at 2030 is between 1 to 2 TB of data per car per day! Today’s connected car have over hundred sensors and the estimate is a production of 25GB per hour. A mind boggling figure. At least four questions arise …

The trend towards autonomous mobility, in all sectors, is “unstoppable” leveraging on several technologies that have been evolving in the last decade and that are promising to become affordable in the current one. Automation in mobility feeds on the same forces that pushed automation in manufacturing: better and consistent performances …

Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) and Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGV) are becoming more and more common and the FTI’s report foresees a significant increase in their deployment in the logistics, most notably in warehouse automation. However, as their flexibility increases and cost decreases, we can expect to see them used in …

Robots have become pervasive in many sectors and their presence and capabilities are going to keep increasing in the coming years. The FTI’s report includes several areas of evolution, made possible by technology increased capabilities. In the following I provide a list (addressed in the FTI’s report) adding to each …

As mentioned in the previous post in this series, and as pointed out in the FTI’s report, the evolution trend for communications networks is shifting the focus to the edges. Hence, in this decade we can expect a growth of data processing at the edges, both in devices and in …

The architecture of networks used to be a top down activity, usually carried out by a Telco Operator (clearly standardisation always played a major role). The overall structure was hierarchical because hierarchy greatly simplifies the rules that each equipment has to follow (considering that those equipment in the past were …

The FTI’s report dedicates one full section to the evolution of network infrastructures, noticing how much the pandemic has emphasised the importance of having a pervasive, scalable network. As you read the report it becomes clear they are recognising that for the coming years 5G will remain the focus.  Big …

I read the article on the Expansion newspaper, but you don’t need to go into it: the title says it all. Telecommunications Companies have lost one third of their revenues in the last ten years And the subtitle points out that these losses are in spite of a 50% surge …

5G is being deployed in many parts of the world, and has reached some significant coverage in the North America, Europe and Far East Asia (China, South Korea and Japan). Among all these Countries South Korea is leading in terms of coverage and penetration of 5G enabled devices. Looking at …

5G has been the talk of the town of the last 2 years, now it has lost a bit of its glitter as the hard issues of balancing economics with market willingness to pay are evident. It remains both a technology push and a marketing pressure (not a market pull). …
