Wireless energy harvesting is rapidly gaining traction in the Internet of Things (IoT) industry as companies look for alternatives to traditional batteries and wired power. While there are several ways to enable energy harvesting, Radio Frequency (RF) harvesting has emerged as a transformative method.
Data center energy consumption is one of the biggest decarbonization challenges of our time. On one hand, there is huge demand for energy-guzzling applications within the Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) and cloud computing domains. On the other hand, these technologies require an unprecedented amount of power to run them. For example, some industry gurus have suggested that a single Large Language Model (LLM) interaction could have similar electricity consumption as leaving a low-brightness LED lightbulb on for an hour. Although data centers only account for about 2% to 4% of total electricity consumption in advanced economies today, the anticipated growth in digital technology usage will induce a greater impact on the grid in the future.
Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 promises to be a landmark event, marking a dramatic shift in focus from communications to computing. In the midst of this transformation, ABI Research anticipates that the tech show will shine a spotlight on the growing rift between China and the West, with a special focus on how telcos are embracing platforms that can power next-gen applications, especially in the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
As we inch closer to Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025, network Application Programmable Interfaces (APIs) are a hot ticket item within the telecoms industry. They are a way for telco operators to provide developers with access to network capabilities, enhancing user experience and offering more efficient services, while unlocking new features otherwise not possible. APIs have unlocked opportunities across supply chains, with notable successes including app stores like Apple's and Google's, cloud services like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Azure, and various consumer and enterprise services.
Technological advancements in cellular standards have been the hallmark of MWC for 2 decades, dating back to the 2G and 3G eras. This year, that will change for many reasons:
Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 is fast approaching, and ABI Research will be there once again to witness the latest innovations shaping the future of mobile technology. Based on numerous pre-briefings ahead of Barcelona, our analysts are calling the most dramatic shift in MWC's history: watch the telecoms industry finally shed its old skin. Computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are not just joining the party, they are taking over the entire show.
T-Mobile US is one of the most successful network carriers in the United States, generating US$66.2 billion in services revenue in 2024. It’s a household name in America, with its antennas and Millimeter Wave (mmWave) technologies being used to connect the Superdome in New Orleans for the Super Bowl. While everyone knows who T-Mobile is, few are familiar with the technological underpinnings of its forward-looking solutions.
The material handling and supply chain industry’s flagship event, ProMat, is just around the corner (March 17 – 20). At the show, leading technology vendors from across the warehousing and logistics industry are set to exhibit their latest supply chain innovations. From Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration to real-time visibility software, these technologies aim to build resilience for organizations’ logistics operations.
We often take cellular connectivity for granted. Without it, we can’t text our friends, access email, or contact emergency services. For enterprises, a lack of mobile coverage means software tools are deemed worthless, vital communications get shut down, and operations come to a halt. Unfortunately, it’s not always possible to deliver fiber-based broadband due to geographical constraints and outdated infrastructure. Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) is a key connectivity solution that addresses these challenges as it does not require physical cable installation in a home or business.
T-Mobile has been making strides in the network Application Programmable Interface (API) space with its DevEdge marketplace. DevEdge offers APIs to developers for Quality of Service (QoS)-on-Demand, network slicing, and early access to 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) functionalities.
