ABI Research Debuts New Transformative Technology Whitepapers and Executive Foresights for Mobile World Congress Shanghai 2018

Specifically written in support of Mobile World Congress (MWC) Shanghai 2018, three new whitepapers and two Executive Foresights have just been released, announced ABI Research, a market-foresight advisory firm providing strategic guidance on the most compelling transformative technologies. All the content will be available for complimentary download via MWC’s website in its virtual VIP Lounge and ABI Research’s website.

The following whitepapers for MWC Shanghai include:

• “Are Mobile Service Providers Doomed to Marginalization”

Dimitris Mavrakis, Research Director, highlights learnings from Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2018 and the current market activities. He then asks and answers the following questions: Are Mobile Service Providers (MSPs) truly innovating? Do telcos need to change? And, of course, are MSPs doomed?

• “Automated Living: The Merging of Smart Mobility, Smart Cities and Smart Home”

Dominique Bonte, VP of Verticals/End Markets; Jonathan Collins, Research Director; and James Hodgson, Senior Analyst, focus on the adjacencies and synergies between smart mobility, smart cities, and the smart home. More importantly, how assets and technologies developed and deployed in one market can be leveraged for other markets. This can result in a more holistic and seamless experience and an automated living experience for consumers and citizens alike as well as optimized solutions across the markets.

• “The Rise and Outlook of Antennas in 5G”

Jake Saunders, VP of Asia-Pacific & Advisory Services, explains why the antenna has become a very complex and invaluable segment of the 5G network and discusses the “C band,” Massive MIMO (Multiple In, Multiple Out) configurations, mobile antenna shipment outlook, as well as the evolution of the active antenna.

ABI Research’s Executive Foresights present real-world triggers impacting businesses. They are driven mostly by recent, noteworthy news events, but they go well beyond the reporting. They provide the context along with ABI Research’s important technology forecasts. The Executive Foresights being debuted at MWS Shanghai include:

• “Is There a Role for MSPs and 5G in Smart Manufacturing?” Pablo Tomasi, Senior Analyst
• “AI Solving Pain Points in Telco Networks, but the Path to AI Remains Rocky,” Lian Jye Su, Principal Analyst
