Hello Embedded Engineers, Developers and Makers! Welcome to In Case You Missed it: Embedded Insights, the weekly news show all about Embedded technologies and solutions from Embedded Computing Design.

In this episode of Embedded Insiders, we’re joined by Principal Analyst at global technology intelligence firm ABI Research, Reece Hayden, to discuss the recent global tariffs, and the effects of this on supply chains, manufacturing costs, and expansion. 

Next, Ken sits down with Jun Kawaguchi, global marketing executive for the Secure Flash product family at Winbond, to discuss the challenges of securing today’s AI, automotive, and industrial embedded systems.

In its whitepaper, 74 Technology Trends That Will—and Will Not—Shape 2023, analysts from ABI Research have identified 41 trends that will shape the technology market and 33 others that, despite receiving plenty of speculation and commentary, are less likely to move the needle over the next twelve months.

5G provides up to 20Gbit/s peak data rates, 100x faster download speeds and network capacity, and 10x lower latency than 4G networks. But some of the most significant benefits of 5G networks are their abilities to support service-based architectures (SBAs) that tailor resources to specific use cases, in industry and the enterprise.

5G promises mobile network operators and their customers higher capacity and energy efficiency, faster speed, lower RAN latency, and massive connectivity potential. But these benefits are not without tradeoffs — namely in the form of skyrocketing mobile data traffic demands.

5G Networks are a need in automation, robotics, and augmented reality. 

The renewable energy sector and commercial utilities are becoming a fast moving marker for partner programs in IoT.
