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 …

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 first (that I know of) “intelligent” toothbrush debuted at CES 2017, now you …

2. Global gigabit connectivity at ultra-low cost This megatrend is actually the convergence of three: “global”, “gigabit ” and “ultra-low cost”. The quest for coverage and for performance is nothing new, as a matter of fact. the novelty is in the “quality” and “quantity” foreseen by this trend. Connectivity has …
