CES 2020: IoT shines; 5G and content disappoint
This report is available to those subscribed to the Digital Consumer, IoT & Enterprise or Mobile Operators and Networks modules.
CES has slowly but steadily evolved from a consumer electronics show into a wider technology event, showcasing a range of new products and services for smart homes, connected cars, enterprise applications and digital entertainment. As expected (in our pre-show blog post), the event helped shine a light on what will be important in 2020, across IoT, 5G, AI, robotics, devices, Wi-Fi 6, blockchain, privacy and security. In this Spotlight, we focus on the event takeaways for IoT, 5G and media & entertainment, with implications for operators and vendors on the road ahead.
