One area I cover closely as a tech analyst is workplace productivity solutions. While perhaps it’s easy to take for granted the tools we all use on a daily basis, businesses’ success ultimately depends on the ability of its employees to communicate and collaborate effectively and productively. It’s communication that makes a team a team. I initially got …
While NVIDIA dominates the market for AI-specific silicon accelerating the training of neural networks, many AI startups are developing silicon to accelerate inference processing, both for data center and edge applications. CPUs have typically been the choice for inference processing, but this is changing rapidly as the size of neural networks grows exponentially and applications …
We live in an intelligent world. A host of devices shapes the way we live, from the cars we drive and the streets on which those cars are driven, to the power plants that generate electricity to the factories that make the goods we consume. This intelligent world is the result of intelligent infrastructure. The …

Earlier this year, Moor Insights & Strategy created a survey instrument intended to measure consumer perceptions about online security, privacy, and parental controls in the smart home. The survey instrument was created for Calix, a global provider of cloud and software platforms, systems, and services that deliver unified access networks and smart premises systems. Calix …
Led by enterprise use cases, the VR market is resurging with a new generation of devices equipped with innovative features enabled by eye tracking and foveated rendering (FR). These technologies first appeared in commercial headsets in mid-2019, and while they are relatively new, they promise to deliver significant improvements in performance and the generation of …
The need to support robust networking and new application services places incredible demands on today’s IT staffing. An inherently siloed legacy infrastructure with inconsistent hardware and software platforms spanning local and wide area networks requires excessive manual network operations. This reduces the network operator’s ability to manage device provisioning and ongoing operations. As a result, teams are unnecessarily taxed …
The United States government views the deployment of 5G networking as a strategic initiative that will unlock transformative enterprise services. The throughput and latency of 5G — a vast improvement over current 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) technology — will disrupt the market and accelerate digital transformation. Given the potential positive economic impact of 5G on …
