2023: Key Objectives

2023: Mobility and IoT Trends to Watch

More IoT Stakeholders Will Adopt AI/ML   

According to Omdia, the convergence of AI and edge computing is set to drive IoT’s impact and value proposition. Edge capabilities on devices out in the field offer reduced latency, power consumption, and costs linked to ferrying data to the cloud. That paves the way for more complex data types to be analyzed. Omdia highlights three leading bands for deploying AI and machine learning at the edge.

First, ambient AI algorithms extract IoT sensor data without using audio or video as reference points. Due to reduced latency at the edge, these algorithms can seek granular judgments from noisy data avalanches that would otherwise stagnate in storage.  

Meanwhile, low-cost computer vision and natural language processing will bring video and audio IoT capabilities to more enterprises, helping detect wake words or sounds of distress in lone worker scenarios, for instance, or identifying broken goods before they leave the factory floor.  

5G to Make Headway  

According to Gartner, 5G is predominantly employed for consumer use cases at present, but that’s set to change over the next two years. This strengthens critical IoT operations, like cameras and asset sensors, by making them more reliable. The U.S. is also one of a handful of countries developing 5G on mmWave frequencies though connections are currently sparse. The approach is set to strengthen 5G connectivity for massive machine-type communications where vast IoT fleets with minimal human involvement handle data production, exchange, and implementation. But mmWave 5G’s benefits will take a while to actuate, according to Gartner, which predicts it won’t reach maturity until 2025.  

Enterprises Seek to Eliminate Latency from IoT Networks 

The trends above will be especially beneficial for enterprises looking to implement real-time applications. In use cases ranging from live predictive maintenance to venue management and safety, the value of IoT extends by reducing limitations associated with cloud data relays.

Almost three in 10 (29%) enterprise decision-makers cite the need for low-latency networks to support real-time applications as one of their three most significant concerns, according to an ESG Global survey. Moreover, the acceleration of edge computing technologies and next-generation connectivity means enterprises that nail implementation will possess more disruptive potential. Gartner recommends that product leaders responsible for IoT should accelerate the adoption of edge and AI-enabled solutions to create a long-term technology roadmap. 

Different Divisions of IoT and Mobility 

• Mobility
  • Personal devices, iPhones, iPads, tablets, SIM  
  • Only where the device connects directly to the Wireless Carrier. (4G/5G) 
• Managed Mobility Services
  • Management of the Mobility environment: break/fix, expense management, activations, optimization, reporting, security, etc. 
• Wireless Internet WAN and LAN
  • Wirelessly connecting to WiFi  
  • Routers are hubs for other devices to connect via Wi-Fi or LoraWAN. 
• IoT Devices
  • Wirelessly connects to devices that constantly relay data back to a distributed or central processor for data analysis and alarms
