Outdoor surveillance cameras are to become the largest global market for 5G Internet of Things (IoT) solutions over the next three years, market researcher Gartner Inc said in a report on Thursday.
The number of 5G IoT installed endpoints for outdoor surveillance cameras would reach 2.5 million units next year, 6.2 million units in 2021 and 11.2 million units in 2022, the report said.
“Cameras deployed by city operators, or used to ensure building security and provide intruder detection, offer the largest addressable market as they are located outdoors, often across cities, and require cellular connectivity,” Gartner senior research director Stephanie Baghdassarian said in the report.
The automotive industry also has tremendous potential, as the number of 5G IoT installed endpoints for connected vehicles is expected to surpass the demand in the outdoor surveillance camera market by 2023, the US-based research firm added.
“The addressable market for embedded 5G connections in connected cars is growing faster than the overall growth in the 5G IoT sector,” Baghdassarian said.
“Commercial and consumer connected-car embedded 5G endpoints will represent 11 percent of all 5G endpoints installed in 2020 (393,000 units), and this figure will reach 39 percent by the end of 2023 (19.09 million units),” she said.
Gartner estimated that the total number of 5G IoT endpoint installed bases would more than triple from next year to 2021 — from 3.5 million units next year to 11.3 million units in 2021 and then 48.6 million units by 2023.
The number of 5G IoT endpoint installed bases for fleet telematics devices is also expected to increase from 4 percent of the overall 5G endpoints installed next year (135,000 units) to 11 percent by 2023 (5.15 million units).
In-vehicle toll devices also represent a growing segment, as the number of 5G IoT endpoint installed bases would increase from 50,000 units next year to 1.55 million units by 2023, or 1 percent to 3 percent of the market.
The number of 5G IoT endpoint installed bases for emergency services is expected to grow from 61,000 units next year to 1.18 million units by 2023, retaining a 2 percent market share.
Stephen Garrett, a 27-year-old graduate student, always thought he would study in China, but first the country’s restrictive COVID-19 policies made it nearly impossible and now he has other concerns. The cost is one deterrent, but Garrett is more worried about restrictions on academic freedom and the personal risk of being stranded in China. He is not alone. Only about 700 American students are studying at Chinese universities, down from a peak of nearly 25,000 a decade ago, while there are nearly 300,000 Chinese students at US schools. Some young Americans are discouraged from investing their time in China by what they see
MAJOR DROP: CEO Tim Cook, who is visiting Hanoi, pledged the firm was committed to Vietnam after its smartphone shipments declined 9.6% annually in the first quarter Apple Inc yesterday said it would increase spending on suppliers in Vietnam, a key production hub, as CEO Tim Cook arrived in the country for a two-day visit. The iPhone maker announced the news in a statement on its Web site, but gave no details of how much it would spend or where the money would go. Cook is expected to meet programmers, content creators and students during his visit, online newspaper VnExpress reported. The visit comes as US President Joe Biden’s administration seeks to ramp up Vietnam’s role in the global tech supply chain to reduce the US’ dependence on China. Images on
New apartments in Taiwan’s major cities are getting smaller, while old apartments are increasingly occupied by older people, many of whom live alone, government data showed. The phenomenon has to do with sharpening unaffordable property prices and an aging population, property brokers said. Apartments with one bedroom that are two years old or older have gained a noticeable presence in the nation’s six special municipalities as well as Hsinchu county and city in the past five years, Evertrust Rehouse Co (永慶房產集團) found, citing data from the government’s real-price transaction platform. In Taipei, apartments with one bedroom accounted for 19 percent of deals last
US CONSCULTANT: The US Department of Commerce’s Ursula Burns is a rarely seen US government consultant to be put forward to sit on the board, nominated as an independent director Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電), the world’s largest contract chipmaker, yesterday nominated 10 candidates for its new board of directors, including Ursula Burns from the US Department of Commerce. It is rare that TSMC has nominated a US government consultant to sit on its board. Burns was nominated as one of seven independent directors. She is vice chair of the department’s Advisory Council on Supply Chain Competitiveness. Burns is to stand for election at TSMC’s annual shareholders’ meeting on June 4 along with the rest of the candidates. TSMC chairman Mark Liu (劉德音) was not on the list after in December last
