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.
KEEPING UP: The acquisition of a cleanroom in Taiwan would enable Micron to increase production in a market where demand continues to outpace supply, a Micron official said Micron Technology Inc has signed a letter of intent to buy a fabrication site in Taiwan from Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp (力積電) for US$1.8 billion to expand its production of memory chips. Micron would take control of the P5 site in Miaoli County’s Tongluo Township (銅鑼) and plans to ramp up DRAM production in phases after the transaction closes in the second quarter, the company said in a statement on Saturday. The acquisition includes an existing 12 inch fab cleanroom of 27,871m2 and would further position Micron to address growing global demand for memory solutions, the company said. Micron expects the transaction to
Vincent Wei led fellow Singaporean farmers around an empty Malaysian plot, laying out plans for a greenhouse and rows of leafy vegetables. What he pitched was not just space for crops, but a lifeline for growers struggling to make ends meet in a city-state with high prices and little vacant land. The future agriculture hub is part of a joint special economic zone launched last year by the two neighbors, expected to cost US$123 million and produce 10,000 tonnes of fresh produce annually. It is attracting Singaporean farmers with promises of cheaper land, labor and energy just over the border.
US actor Matthew McConaughey has filed recordings of his image and voice with US patent authorities to protect them from unauthorized usage by artificial intelligence (AI) platforms, a representative said earlier this week. Several video clips and audio recordings were registered by the commercial arm of the Just Keep Livin’ Foundation, a non-profit created by the Oscar-winning actor and his wife, Camila, according to the US Patent and Trademark Office database. Many artists are increasingly concerned about the uncontrolled use of their image via generative AI since the rollout of ChatGPT and other AI-powered tools. Several US states have adopted
A proposed billionaires’ tax in California has ignited a political uproar in Silicon Valley, with tech titans threatening to leave the state while California Governor Gavin Newsom of the Democratic Party maneuvers to defeat a levy that he fears would lead to an exodus of wealth. A technology mecca, California has more billionaires than any other US state — a few hundred, by some estimates. About half its personal income tax revenue, a financial backbone in the nearly US$350 billion budget, comes from the top 1 percent of earners. A large healthcare union is attempting to place a proposal before
