The 21st century is a digitalised world, where data serves as the new raw material driving our society. An increasing number of sensors are generating vast amounts of data through a rapidly growing array of smart devices. According to the International Data Corporation, the amount of digital data generated globally each year has increased more than tenfold and is expected to nearly double again by 2027 – reaching over 284 zettabytes (to visualise this number, add 21 zeros to 284). To make sense of this data, it must also be transmitted – to other devices or the cloud, for instance. In this podcast, we explore the trends shaping sensor technology and networking. Joining us is Christian Krieber, Director of the Connectivity & Peripherals Technology Segment at EBV.
