Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a critical metric manufacturers use to measure and optimize production efficiency. It evaluates three key factors: availability, performance, and quality, helping to pinpoint bottlenecks, downtime, and inefficiencies in the production process.
To the average person, Wi-Fi is simply known as a technology used to play online video games, launch Netflix, connect their laptop to the Internet, or enable other common applications. While this mostly holds true today, the future of Wi-Fi is much more appealing with the advent of Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC). After significant progress in standardization, ISAC is inching closer to prime time.
Mobile network data traffic is projected to nearly triple by 2030, requiring a shift toward high-performing, programmable networks powered by openness and cloud technologies. This evolution enables service providers to offer performance based services rather than relying solely on data volume. Establishing a strong foundation for network evolution is essential for driving 5G business growth.
The telecommunications industry is increasingly under pressure to reduce carbon emissions and improve transparency. Various government regulations have targeted the sector, while customers and partners are demanding more energy-efficient networks. While telcos have largely succeeded in reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, progress in reducing Scope 3 emissions has been sluggish.
Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) radically changes how supply chain leaders manage operations. Gen AI’s ability to analyze vast datasets and identify patterns enables organizations to accurately forecast future demand, automate document generation, and pinpoint logistical bottlenecks. Moreover, Gen AI tools allow supply chain managers to simulate specific scenarios so that they are prepared for unforeseen events (e.g., natural disasters, geopolitical tension, etc.).
The telecommunications landscape is rapidly evolving as 5G expands and networks are becoming more complicated. Passive cellular antennas have traditionally been viewed as static infrastructure; however, they are now changing because operators want antennas to be designed for specific deployment contexts, such as crowded rooftops, energy reduction, and the need to blend into the built environment. In turn, vendors are providing compact designs that include multiple functions and perform across multiple frequency layers.
In this blog, we list nine passive cellular antenna vendors based on ABI Research's latest comparative analysis, focusing on their unique strengths, product capabilities, sustainability efforts, and market performance. These companies are the market incumbents, big players like Huawei, PROSE, Ericsson, CICT Mobile, and Hengxin Technology.
Then we follow that up with an evaluation of six lesser-known antenna vendors that provide advanced passive antenna solutions for mobile and fixed wireless networks. This company list may not be as widely renowned as the market incumbents, but they are nevertheless recognized for technical competency within the telecom industry.
After years of vigorous development, the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) published four official Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms in August 2024. These algorithms are rapidly transforming the cybersecurity industry as organizations must address the unprecedented prospective threat posed by cryptographically relevant quantum computers. ABI Research has previously covered how the Hardware Security Module (HSM) market is leveraging PQC algorithms, but another important market worth examining is Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
