The Total Available Market (TAM) for Fixed Industrial Network Edge Infrastructure market research study delivers current market analysis plus a five year market and technology forecast. The study is available in multiple editions including worldwide, all regions, and a select group of countries.
Industrial Network Edge Infrastructure Emerges as a Critical Enabler for IIoT Strategies
The industrial network “edge” infrastructure tier is populated by devices such as gateways, switches, routers, and wireless access points (WAPs). This tier is a critical enabler of industrial internet-enabled strategies in areas such as IT-OT integration, edge-to-cloud connectivity, and edge computing.
Edge infrastructure devices are taking on IT characteristics ranging from use of standard operating systems to support for IT protocols and enterprise platform agents. Some perform edge computing to address the need for local data processing as well as latency and security.
Growth of the market into promising segments such as transportation, infrastructure, energy, and smart cities is driving further developments. Each of these segments requires specific product configurations that meet their own requirements.
The objective of this analysis is to quantify the Total Available Market (TAM) for fixed industrial network edge infrastructure from the perspective of both installed base and annual shipments.
