The next 20 years will see homes changing more than over the hundred preceding them. Homes will expand in the activities they enable and support. Most crucially, with real time integration into the wider environment and economy, homes will increasingly respond to the needs of individuals, societies, economies, and the planet.
This paper examines the potential for the Matter specification to bring in-home interoperability to smart home systems and its ability to drive broadscale industry and consumer engagement.

With an expected 5.2 billion connected devices by 2025, IoT is now a fundamental component of both government policy and corporate strategy. The ability to track, monitor, record and analyse through an extraordinary array of hugely innovative sensors has already transformed many businesses and many industries. But, to date, the true power of IoT has been constrained by the limits of fixed and wireless connectivity: just 15% of the planet is currently covered by affordable, accessible IoT connection. |

Telcos and consumers are well-versed in the high-capacity, low-latency, high-speed connectivity benefits of 5G for the consumer market. What’s lesser known is that businesses can also unlock greater value with the rise of 5G standalone (SA) technology to access the increased levels of reliability, speed and communication coverage needed for smart manufacturing, also known as…

Smart speakers, surveillance cameras, robots, and even self-driving cars utilise edge AI, but what is it, and how does the technology work? Despite the impact of COVID-19, the deployment of edge infrastructure and applications has continued over the past two years. Put simply, edge AI is a combination of edge computing and artificial intelligence (AI).…

In the last two decades, the rapid development of IoT has made numerous applications available in our daily lives. One of the crucial elements when planning for an IoT (Internet of Things) deployment for collecting data and conducting analysis is where you want the storage and computation to happen. There are generally two options available: cloud or edge. Cloud delivers computation over the internet, eliminating the need for users to own computing infrastructure themselves. Edge computing means the processing operations are carried out locally on the device or system. |

The development and utilisation of autonomous vehicles and artificial intelligence to grow and harvest food is gathering traction across the agriculture sector. Automation has become a critical element in sustainable food production, and robots and AI are now advanced enough to be used for non-standardised tasks such as weeding, crop sensing, and fruit picking. Many…
