Digitalisation in buildings picked up pace in H2, 2020 with the assistance of resilient business models. Some key digital solutions launched and accelerated by leading companies during the pandemic were digital workplace re-entry measures, healthy building solution with remote services, Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven building solutions prioritising value-based outcome, and proposed as outcome linked/as-a-service models.

Smart mining refers to the process of extracting ores, minerals, or other resources using information, autonomy, and technology. The process is undertaken to gain better productivity, safety, and reduced operational costs to a mine site.

Smart mining refers to the process of extracting ores, minerals, or other resources using information, autonomy, and technology. The process is undertaken to gain better productivity, safety, and reduced operational costs to a mine site. The global smart mining market is divided on the basis of type, category, and region. By type, the market is segmented into underground mining and surface or open pit mining. By category, it is bifurcated into automated equipment and components. The automated equipment includes excavators, load haul dump, drillers & breakers, robotic trucks, and other automated equipment. By components, the market is categorized into hardware, software, and services. Hardware component encompasses sensors, RFID tags, intelligent systems, and others.

During the past two decades there have been considerable efforts undertaken by governments and national telecom regulators to ensure that their countries' economic growth is underpinned by capable broadband infrastructure. The success of national policies has been variable, but the scale of investment and the manner in which the development of fibre infrastructure has been encouraged has been significant during the last five years or so. The ongoing pandemic has also focused the attention of telcos on the need to ensure that telecom infrastructure is robust, while in the popular imagination fixed-line broadband has become an essential service for home working and home schooling. The increasing dependence on home internet services has led to significant growth in the number of subscriptions in many markets. It has also supported the use of associated services within the digital economy, such as e-payments.

Top key players in market inclining toward wireless infrastructure is positively impacting the private LTE market growth. Private LTE networks can be built on either licensed or unlicensed bands. There is much flexibility in network size, the number of connected devices and coverage area. Private LTE is a miniature version of a public LTE network and functions much like its macro cousin with similar user experience. However, private LTE networks cover a much smaller area. Mobile network operators are including private LTE as a key component of their strategy for advance 4G network rollouts, as they are important for delivering reliable and consistent experiences for their customers. This is primarily due to better spectral efficiency, more reliable coverage, and improved overall network performance & capacity provided by private LTE networks, creating an opportunity to lower cost data. The adoption of private LTE in this pre-5G LTE transition is increasing, as it gives increased data capacity and helps service providers to eliminate expensive systems and installation or rental costs, it is also available as unlicensed subscriber, which reduce the overall cost. In addition, it helps improve the performance of mobile handsets, wearable devices, and routers. As it transmits data at lower power levels, which effectively consumes less battery power of the devices and increases overall battery life of device.

A chipless RFID system is equipped with a printed pattern containing the ID code & an antenna for communication with the reader. Due to low-cost conductive inks, the cost of the tag can be significantly reduced. The chipless RFID system has benefits over conventional sensors due to its lower radiated power, lower cost, robustness, and longer storage life. Alternatively, chipless RFID system provides identification data & monitors several physical parameters of tagged items without having an active sensor in the circuitry. The scope of the report discusses the potential opportunities for the key players to enter the global chipless RFID market. Furthermore, it provides an in-depth analysis of the market, outlining current trends, key driving factors, and key area of investment. The report includes Porter’s five forces analysis to understand the competitive scenario of the industry and role of each stakeholder in the value chain. Moreover, it features the strategies adopted by the key market players to maintain their foothold in the market.

Drill pipe is a thick-walled and hollow piping used for the transmission of drilling fluid through the wellbore to the drill bit during rig drilling operation. Drill pipes are seamless steel pipes and are considered as a component of the drill string assembly. The report on the global drill pipe market presents a detailed analysis of the trends, future estimations, and thorough study of the market on the basis of type, grade, application, and region. Depending on type, the market is classified into standard drill pipe and heavy weight drill pipe (HWDP). According to grade, it is categorized into API grade and premium grade. On the basis of application, it is classified into offshore and onshore.

Audio CODECs are data convertors that convert analog signal of audio to digital and back from digital to analog. They are primarily used for coding, decoding, compressing, and decompressing audio. They find major applications in consumer electronics. In addition, it also finds applications in automotive, entertainment, and gaming industries. The scope of the report discusses the potential opportunities for the key players to enter the global audio CODEC market. Furthermore, it provides an in-depth analysis of the market, outlining current trends, key driving factors, and key area of investment. The report includes Porter’s five forces analysis to understand the competitive scenario of the industry and role of each stakeholder in the value chain.

2020年新冠肺炎疫情冲击美国社会，凸显了美国公共卫生治理的困境。受新冠肺炎疫情影响，美国经济陷入深度衰退，全年经济大幅波动。大选年政治博弈加剧，分裂、对抗与斗争始终都是2020年美国国内政治和社会运行的主旋律。国内矛盾进一步加剧，社会权力面临特权化、碎片化、非理性化三重困境，多股思潮相互对冲，严重扰乱社会秩序，美国宪政体制面临多重挑战。美国外交呈现“双层博弈”特点，国内政治因素对美国外交政策的影响凸显。特朗普政府通过挑起国际争端来转移国内矛盾，同时利用“外交胜利”助推国内选情。展望未来，2021年美国经济摆脱衰退的可能性较大，但由于结构性问题复苏幅度有限。美国政治僵局持续，“特朗普主义”将会继续影响美国政治。防疫机制改革迫在眉睫，科学抗疫、合作抗疫重归主导。拜登团队执政后将适度回归自由国际主义路线，推行多边主义外交，力图发挥美国的主导作用。
