Nokia’s 5GtoB Activities Proving to Be a Beacon of Success for the Vendor
Nokia’s 5GtoB Activities Proving to Be a Beacon of Success for the Vendor
 Insight | 3Q 2023 | IN-7035
Nokia’s latest results highlighted the challenging economic conditions the wider telco industry is facing as Communication Service Providers (CSPs) have trimmed infrastructure investment, but the enterprise sector is seeing the potential of investing in 4G and 5G connectivity and applications.
Will GPU and AI Advancements Prove Most Effective in Advancing Open RAN Technology?
Will GPU and AI Advancements Prove Most Effective in Advancing Open RAN Technology?
 Insight | 3Q 2023 | IN-7003
Significant developments have recently taken place in the fields of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Virtualized Radio Access Network (vRAN), where several vendors are releasing new platforms for the deployment of 5G radio networks. For example, NVIDIA recently announced its vRAN cloud offering, powered by its new Grace Hopper Superchip. With enterprises now incorporating more AI technology into their technology stacks, it begs the question of how Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and AI will accelerate vRAN adoption on the telco domain. The implications may be that these telco-driven AI solutions will also be used in the enterprise domain in the future, so their choice needs to be under significant consideration.

Global “Leading-Edge” Semiconductor Supply Chain Imbalance Is Placing Data Center Sustainability Objectives under Threat
Global “Leading-Edge” Semiconductor Supply Chain Imbalance Is Placing Data Center Sustainability Objectives under Threat
 Insight | 4Q 2022 | IN-6749
The Data Center Market (DCM) is going through a period of massive transformation. The energy crisis and global warming have led to increased emphasis on public and corporate-led energy efficiency and sustainability measures. Improving energy efficiency in the DCM requires widespread changes, paramount among these is a transition to “leading-edge” semiconductors that can help maximize Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). But geopolitical and structural challenges may stand in the way as “leading-edge” supply chains remain heavily unbalanced.
Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment: A Challenging Bottleneck Constraining Global Chip Production Capacity
Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment: A Challenging Bottleneck Constraining Global Chip Production Capacity
 Insight | 4Q 2022 | IN-6713
Over the past few years, a series of global events have contributed to severe semiconductor supply chain disruptions, especially for leading-edge semiconductors. This has led to substantial government-led initiatives (e.g., the European Chips Act and U.S.’s CHIPS and Science Act) aiming to rebalance supply chains by increasing domestic semiconductor output. However, expanding domestic output in, for example, the Asia-Pacific, North America, or Europe faces substantial bottlenecks—and chief among these is the highly concentrated semiconductor manufacturing equipment market.
