TRENDS THAT WON’T HAPPEN!
-
Much of the network must be pushed to the edge using cloud technology — a crucial balance between edge and centralized cloud that delivers cost-effective scale, agility and low latency needs to be struck.
-
Even though India began its IoT journey late, the country’s installed base of connected units is expected to grow at a much faster rate; IoT units in India are expected to see a rapid growth of ~32X to reach 1.9 billion units by 2020.
-
The telecom sector in India is banking on Blockchain technology to build new revenue streams and lower operational costs. The technology can also be used for data and content monetization.
-
Low-cost smartphones may be limited by space, but the users are from an extremely intuitive and curious generation. Hence, developers will have to create space-efficient apps.
-
While 5G will put pressure on networks, revealing new network chokepoints, IIoT applications will increase access requests, and mobile automotive IoT applications will stretch latency demands.
-
In 2020, the electronics industry will emphasize on system-level testing as the definitive, final step to assure end-to-end performance, integrity and reliability across the increasingly connected world.
-
While revenues will continue to remain relatively flat, operators will be forced to lower their expenses. Virtualization—vRAN – will democratize Radio Access Network market by lowering the entry barriers for NEMs.
-
AI has provided the opportunity to control household appliances with ease. This simplifies many processes and helps manage various devices through voice recognition or smartphones.
