This in-depth market data research is split into two key modules: Market Growth Outlook and Competitive Analysis. Each of these modules is further configured into several sub-modules to meet the needs of executives as well as marketing, sales, and product development managers. All of these modules and sub-modules may be purchased as a bundle or separately. A brief description of these modules, sub-modules, and their use cases is included below.
The Industrial Cellular Routers research delivers current market analysis plus a five-year market and technology forecast. The research is available in multiple editions including worldwide, all regions, and most major countries.
Industrial Cellular Routers Market: Users Contend with Rapid Cellular Tech Evolution
ARC Advisory Group’s research in industrial cellular routers shows that the beginning of large-scale 5G deployment, promise of private cellular networks, and edge computing are reshaping the industrial cellular routers market. With its high speed, low latency, and massive IoT device capacity, 5G connectivity holds immense potential for industrial applications. Current deployment is small, but will expand in future years as components become more widely available and highly anticipated 5G features enter the market. Private networks are a promising technology that offer enterprises greater control over their assets and data while increasing network reliability and uptime, but adoption has been slow as users grapple with the cost and complexity of these installations. Edge computing is increasingly a part of the value proposition of the industrial edge, and the processing power and edge computing capacity of industrial routers continues to increase.
Industrial Cellular Routers Market Strategic Issues
In addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the Industrial Cellular Routers market research provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.
Business Outcome-oriented Approach to Cellular Adoption
As the power of cellular devices grows, it is critical to approach their adoption with a well-defined plan to achieve value. Cellular technology is indispensable for ensuring reliable connectivity and communication in industrial settings, but it can be complex and costly compared to alternatives.
Ensure Device Longevity Encompasses the Full Length of Desired Equipment Lifecycle
Exercise due diligence in ensuring that purchased hardware and supporting software align with projected equipment lifecycles. Applications with lengthy lifecycles should consider offerings that include long-term support for firmware updates, security improvements, and device and network management.
Future Proof Connectivity and Compute Strategy
Ensure edge solutions provide the requisite north and southbound connectivity consistent with your current and anticipated installations; particularly anticipated improvements for 5G and WiFi. Consistent edge connectivity is critical for all data sources: hardware, sensors, devices, cloud, data visualization, analytics, security, management, etc. MQTT, OPC UA, RestAPIs, and other standard technologies are the primary means of achieving edge-to-cloud connectivity. Ensure current and future edge compute requirements are aligned with the capabilities of the chosen devices’ CPU, memory, OS, and support for containers.
Large-scale Cellular Deployments Require a Device and Network Management Strategy
Determine the level of network management your operations can support. Pilots and installations with only a few cellular devices might not require much overhead, but effective scalability must be a consideration as the number of devices in the network increases. Look to the growing number of software and services designed to manage network traffic, automatically apply firmware updates, and provision new devices.
