Security of data and financial assets have been a key concern for banks as well as for customers. Numeric keypads, keys, and identity badges were widely used to prevent unauthorized access to data and premises. With technological advancements, twofactor authentication was introduced, where individuals could gain access to secure premises after they are authenticated twice, via hardware devices and numeric codes. However, hackers can gain access to hardware devices and obtain numeric codes, which increases the security risks, especially in the BFSI sector.

The incapability of light to penetrate obstructions and walls ensures that data transmitted will be limited to the room or space. This property makes Li-Fi more secure than Wi-Fi. In addition, Li-Fi does not cause electromagnetic interference. Although the LED bulb must be kept on for transmitting the signal, it can be lowered as per needs. Data can be transferred using Li-Fi technology through all types of light, regardless of their spectrum. Moreover, Li-Fi ensures that a user does not necessarily have to be in a Wi- Fi enabled region, and can surf the internet by being around a source of light.

An FSS is a type of service that uses geosynchronous satellites to broadcast through TV and radio, telecommunications, and satellite communication that are used by governments, military organizations, small and large enterprises, and other end-users. It can provide information to intelligence and security organizations. FSS is classified into wholesale services and managed services. The satellites used for FSS have lowpower output and require larger dish-style antennas than direct broadcasting satellites. FSS works with bands such as C-band, Ku-band, and Ka-band. The Ka-band is used mostly in North America to serve the growing needs of government, media, and network users. It provides higher bandwidth and frequency than other bands.

Crowdfunding is one of the major funding methods adopted by companies to raise funds for virtual reality (VR) projects. It attracts new entrants in the market, thereby increasing the competition among vendors and reducing device prices. It also allows vendors to anticipate customer demands, directly communicate with potential buyers, and involve customers in the product development stage. This will help vendors manufacture products according to customer demands.VR has been gaining more popularity in the market after Facebook acquired Oculus for $2 billion in July 2014. In addition, Google invested $542 million in Magic Leap in October 2014, which works on virtual and augmented reality (AR) solutions.Oculus is developing a device for PC gamers; Samsung Electronics is trying to capture the mobile gaming market with the introduction of Samsung Gear VR; and Sony is developing Project Morpheus to cater to the console gaming segment.

With the growing inclination to stay connected, technological upgrades like the installation of touchscreen systems that allow smartphone integration will experience a steady rise in the automotive industry.Rising demand for better sound quality, design, flexibility, and price advantage will drive consumers to look for aftermarket products like touchscreen infotainment systems.Car accessories with technological breakthroughs like touchscreen systems with smartphone integration are increasingly becoming a major consideration influencing purchasing decision of vehicles.The growth rate for aftermarket touchscreen systems will decline as more and more vehicles will be introduced with touchscreen infotainment system as a standard originial equipment manufacturer (OEM) fitment, since there has been a surge in the inclusion of touchscreen as a differentiating feature by the majority of the OEMs.The penetration of the aftermarket for touchscreen infotainment system is more in Asia-Pacific (APAC) compared with matured economies as fewer vehicles are equipped with standard OEM fitted touchscreen infotainment systems.The global aftermarket for touchscreen infotainment system is predominantly occupied by the mid-size screen segment because of the ease of using the system to navigate the menu and apps installed in the system due to increased screen size and better resolution.

Airborne intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) is a crucial factor in conducting military and security operations. Defense authorities invest heavily in ISR systems to enhance national security as well as extract data from potential enemies. The airborne ISR systems collect the information from the targeted regions and pass it to the intelligence personnel, who formulate the battle plans or necessary actions. ISR integrates the intelligence process with surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance tasks that assist in improving the situational awareness of the defense forces.In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario (considering the base year to be 2016) and the growth prospects of the global airborne ISR market for 2017-2021.The report provides a comprehensive overview, market shares, and growth opportunities for the following types of platforms:Manned airborne ISR. The manned airborne ISR solutions are provided by manned aircraft such as (maritime patrol and special mission aircraft).Unmanned airborne ISR,The unmanned airborne ISR solutions are provided by unmanned aircraft (such as unmanned aerial vehicles [UAVs]).

Digitalisation is not only a source of opportunities for federal and local businesses, it is a factor in the global competition for human capital, the main development resource of the 21st century.This study is dedicated to the issues of penetration of the moderndigital technologies into all aspects of daily life in major Russian cities. The report was prepared by the experts of the SKOLKOVOInstitute for Emerging Market Studies with the participation of professors of IESE Business School (Barcelona, Spain).The Digital Life Index of the Russian Regions provides a quantitative measurement of the progress of secondary digitalization in the Russian cities, covering the key aspects of modern urban life, such as transportation, finance, retail, healthcare, education, media, and dministration.A separate measurement of the development of supply, and helps to reveal the gaps between them, mapping out areas of possible action for businesses and administrations.

The overall telecoms services revenue reached over $42 billion in 2016, a growth of under 1% for the 12 months to June 2016. The overall market is predicted to grow at a stronger rate in 2017. The strongest growth is coming from the second tier providers, which grew at over 10% during that time period. The market incumbent Telstra still dominates the local telco landscape with well over 50% market share, however this market share is gradually declining. Prices for fixed-line and mobile voice services are being driven down by competition among operators, and by consumer reluctance to tolerate price increases, which engenders higher churn to other providers. Thus opportunities to drive revenue growth through higher consumer and business spend in the short term are limited to mobile data services.

The need for security technologies, including highly reliable and accessible personal authentication and identification systems, has increased mainly due to the frequent instances of security breaches, identity theft, and fraud in different sectors.
