Emerging Technologies to evaluate in 2023
5G
2023 is the year to evaluate 5G business use cases
5G is fast shifting from a hyped potential technology to real world delivery. By mid-2022 Telstra announced 80 percent of Australians had access to 5G, which means business should be evaluating 5G use cases yesterday. 5G is hardly able to be described as an emerging technology - it has emerged - and is a technology worth investing the time to review, as early adopters are already gaining a competitive edge.
5G business use cases are being deployed in Australia
For Australian businesses, 5G will be an enabler for many emerging technologies through the delivery of increased speed and decreased latency. MobileCorp is achieving speeds of more than 1Gbps at the Westpac Helicopter Rescue base in Sydney's La Perouse. We are supporting Ticketek as they gear up for LTE/5G as a primary link at all its non-Stadium and pop-up events. Gidarjil First Nations land and sea rangers are using 5G to livestream video from underwater and aerial drones.
THE EMPOWERED EDGE
Although Edge Computing has not been adopted as swiftly as some analysts predicted, still Gartner expects more than 15 billion IoT devices will connect to the enterprise infrastructure by 2029.
The empowered edge refers to the shift of compute power from centralised cloud to edge devices. This allows data collection, information processing, and delivery to be placed closer to the sources of the information. The benefits are keeping traffic local to reduce latency and providing some form of autonomy for edge devices. Empowered Edge is also referred to as Device Democracy. Over the next few years, IT services at the edge will evolve rapidly.
Extending digital reach to the edge
Gartner predicts more than 50% of new enterprise infrastructure deployed will be at the edge rather than corporate data centres as we move into 2023, and through 2028, there will be a steady increase in the embedding of sensor, storage, compute and advanced AI capabilities in edge devices.
INTERNET OF EVERYTHING
Next wave of Internet growth
The Internet of Everything is the next wave of Internet growth. It takes the Internet of Things to the next level – the level of integration not just with ‘things,’ but with people, processes and data. The promise of IoE is bridging the physical and digital worlds.
IoE moves from data to action
IoE intelligently joins people, process, data and things in one vast distributed network to make connections more relevant and valuable. Rather than the IoT passive approach of retrieving data from sensors, IoE moves the conversation to a far more active approach where action in the physical world is what matters i.e. the data retrieved from sensors is analysed and the insights are translated into a physical action as a consequence. It improves business and industry decision-making, and is more relevant to people’s lives than IoT.
DISTRIBUTED CLOUD
Cloud everywhere and nowhere
The next conceptual shift in the evolution of cloud is ‘distributed cloud.’ To stay competitive in the digital-first economy, digital services must be able to run anywhere and anytime. Organisations are responding by re-thinking the placement of applications and data analytics, based on network latency, customer population clusters and geopolitical limitations.
How to get ahead of the curve
The best way to get ahead of the curve is to start looking at the cloud as anything you can control and scale from a web browser, not just a data centre or virtual machine, and to begin mapping application requirements against the three types of cloud architectures – Centralised, Overlay and Distributed.
AUGMENTED HUMANS
It is time to leverage wearables in the workplace
Human augmentation is the use of technology to enhance a person’s cognitive and physical experiences.
Gartner predicted that one third of IT organisations would have a ‘Wear Your Own Device’ policy by 2023 to address augmented humans in the workforce.
This has not occurred as organisations were distracted by accelerating transformation in other areas due to the pandemic. However the prediction from Gartner reflects the rush from businesses pre-pandemic to leverage use cases for augmented humans.
It’s already happening…
Consumers have lost any reticence or fear of being ‘tracked’ and have embraced wearables like smartwatches and fitness trackers in large numbers. Annual growth of the wearable market is forecast at 15% through to 2028 and the use of wearable devices in healthcare due to the COVID-19 pandemic has supported that prediction. It’s time that Australian enterprises consider how physical augmentations can be leveraged to benefit their business.
