Citing its forecast that the global installed base of IoT devices will rise to 73 billion

in 2025, that enhancements in IoT connectivity, such as low-power wireless access

(LPWA), will drive growth.

It further said that adjacent technologies will become increasingly sophisticated.

“Machine video and ubiquitous video will empower new types of visual analytics.

And AI, the cloud and virtualization will help develop critical insights sourced

from data at the so-called ‘edge’ of computing networks,
 

Cloud and virtualization

The cloud services will pave the way for technologically immature companies

to utilize machine learning (ML) and AI, radically transforming their usage and

understanding of data.
 

Connectivity

While the first 5G commercial deployments have emerged,

the path to full 5G adoption and deployment is complicated,

with new opportunities and challenges alike in store for mobile network operators,

infrastructure providers, device manufacturers and end users,

“5G represents a dramatic expansion of traditional cellular technology use cases

beyond mobile voice and broadband, to include a multitude of IoT and

mission-critical applications.
 

Ubiquitous video

The growing use of screens and cameras across multiple consumer- and enterprise-device categories,

along with increasingly advanced broadcast, fixed and mobile data networks, is

powering an explosion in video consumption, creation, distribution and data traffic.

It further points out video content is increasingly expanding beyond

entertainment into industrial applications for medical, education, security and

remote controls, as well as digital signage.
