5G RedCap is poised to become the dominant technology brand for cellular IoT but not until commercial devices are widely available from 2026 onwards.

Open RAN deployments in public 5G networks will accelerate after 2025, as many mobile operators enter new contracts, and interface standards become mature enough for rigorous interoperability testing.

Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) will be a major source of new revenue for operators globally over the next seven years ― but with sharp regional variations.

Car connectivity will accelerate over the next seven years and reach $828.7 million, tripling the $279.3 million of 2022, as old models are retired and embedded mobile network access becomes standard on ever more vehicles rather than just luxury models.

Network slicing is emerging from gestation under 5G to surge over 100 times in revenue between 2022 and 2029.

In Rethink Technologies latest report entitled: ‘Automation of the RAN: An Operators Roadmap to vRAN and Open RAN’, Rethinks wireless research team led by Co-Founder and Research Director Caroline Gabriel, surveyed a global panel of MNOs (Mobile Network Operators) to discuss their network adoption plans, technologies and economics in relation to RAN automation, including vRAN and Open RAN.

A surge in private 5G network deployments is underway and will continue to accelerate at a higher rate than public 5G before peaking around 2028 in most markets.

Global automotive connectivity revenues will race ahead to $48.3bn by 2027, over five times higher than 2019, generating opportunities and challenges for mobile operators and their infrastructure providers. The full added value revenue opportunity associated with automotive connectivity will be much larger still by around an order of magnitude, rising to around $500bn by 2027.

In the first stage of 5G deployment, cost containment is the number one priority for many cellular operators. A new survey of operators, recently released by the RAN Research service of Rethink Technology Research, has revealed the primary tactics to ensure upfront 5G costs are far lower than they were for 4G.

Energy Storage will grow from 6GWh installed today to over 635GWh cumulatively by 2030. Annual additions will go from 6GWh in 2019 to 101GWh by 2030, according to a report out this week from Rethink Technology Research’s Rethink Energy service. Throughout this period of dramatic growth the Asia Pacific region, led by China will dominate installations with 273 GWh out of 635 GWh, or some 43% of all energy storage capacity while the rest...

The global market for IoT-focused satellite services, focused on end-device connectivity hardware and the annual connectivity fees charged, will grow to $5.9bn in 2025, after taking off in the 2021-2022 period. Incumbent satellite providers will be pressured by a new wave of startups that are leveraging the recent advances in smaller satellite technologies, but many of these new entrants are going to strike out or be absorbed by their larger and ...

Floating Wind platforms will begin to deliver multiple Gigawatts of electrical power by 2024, and will accelerate to as much as 18.9GW of capacity by 2030. This is the conclusion of a new Rethink Technology Research report from its Rethink Energy service, the first such forecast, entitled ‘Floating Wind on the verge of liftoff - Ten year forecast; bright future’.

Cyber security revenues in 2018 were $160.2bn and will jump an enormous $11.2bn during 2019, as the focus moves to GDPR adherence and adherence to similar legislation. Growth slows to around $9.8bn per annum after this but then spikes once again in 2023/4 as AI based Cyber security escalates, reaching $223.7bn.

Total global endpoint security revenues will rise three-fold from $2bn per year at present to $6bn by 2023, outstripping the average for cyber security over the next five years, despite security still being a grudge purchase which everybody hates. This is the findings of a report from Riot, the IoT research service of Rethink Technology Research.

The wireless research arm of Rethink Technology Research, RAN Research, has released a new report ‘5G Deployment Trends 2018-2025 ‘Will 5G really be so different after all?’. It shows the mounting tensions in the 5G world; vendors are emphasising new business models, and trying to enable them, while operator spending plans, show they are more worried about sustaining the growth curve on mobile broadband.

It has been predicted by Riot, the service of Rethink Technology Research, a research and analyst company focusing on IoT, video and wireless, that the revenues of smart home as a service will rise to $15.75bn by 2023. The study is entitled ‘Smart Home as a Service – Awakened from Sleep by a Deep Voice - Forecast to 2023’.

  Research and analyst company focusing on IoT, video and wireless, Rethink Technology Research, have said that operators must get ready for Multicast ABR, which today is in its infancy with services only just beginning, or risk losing out on a new revenue stream.

It has been announced that Rethink Technology Research, a research and analyst company focusing on video networks, OTT, Pay TV and Broadband, has released a new Multi-AP five-year forecast, entitled: The Multi-AP WiFi revolution: How WiFi jumps 10X and takes over the world.
