Fujitsu, in collaboration with the consulting firm IDG, has conducted a study offering insights into the vision and expectations of companies across various industries regarding the Internet of Things (IoT) in relation to their organization, barriers, ecosystem, investment areas, and ROI.
The study involved interviewing 330 CxOs from business and IT departments with decision-making authority in Europe (including Spain) and Asia, representing medium-sized and large companies in 13 countries. These companies spanned sectors such as finance, oil & gas, utilities, transportation, and manufacturing, and ranged in size from 500 to over 25,000 employees, representing all functional areas, including operations, customer service, HR, security, and logistics.

A new generation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions will prove their value in 2019. This trend is led by voice-driven solutions and pick-and-place robots in smart warehouses, as companies advance in the use of robotic process automation.

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the USA have developed a method to evaluate and select optimal antenna designs for future fifth-generation (5G) cell phones, other wireless devices, and base stations.

The edge will be the epicenter of data center innovation in 2019, with activity focused on enhanced intelligence designed to simplify operations, enable remote service and management, and address the growing skills gap. This advancement in edge development is among the trends to watch in 2019, according to Vertiv experts worldwide.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. has announced the results of the 2018 Keysight State of 5G Survey, which reveals that companies are primarily investing in 5G technology to secure their market leadership, meet customer demand, and take advantage of flexible and scalable networks.

For the first time in the world, the Port of Hamburg Authority, Deutsche Telekom, and Nokia are testing new aspects of the 5G standard using various applications under real-world industrial conditions at the Port of Hamburg in Germany. Covering approximately 8,000 hectares, the Port was transformed into a testing ground last January to assess the innovative technology and its suitability for deployment in an industrial environment.

The SD-WAN market is gaining significant traction in Spain and the EMEA region, primarily because companies are beginning to realize that their digital transformation must go hand in hand with the evolution of their WAN infrastructure. IDC Research Spain forecasts that the SD-WAN market in Spain will reach €288 million between 2018 and 2022, achieving sustained growth of 60% (CAGR) between 2016 and 2022.

ZTE has worked with KPN to successfully complete the trial of the first 5G application for precision agriculture. It was conducted in Kompas (Drenthe, Netherlands), in cooperation with the province of Drenthe, Wageningen University & Research, the Dronehub GAE Foundation, Agrifac, and Innovation Veenkoloniën.

A team led by Alexander Holleitner and Reinhard Kienberger, professors of Physics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), has achieved, for the first time, the generation of short electrical pulses on a chip using metal antennas only a few nanometers in size. They then run the signals a few millimeters above the surface and read them back in a controlled manner. This technology enables the development of new, powerful terahertz components.
