184-page full report (research overview plus 14 trend profiles, slide format). Two groups: Silicon Age and Engineering Tomorrow. Per-trend investment and adoption appear only in the bubble exhibit (no figures in text), so trend notes carry none. Forecast entries are dated figure labels from each profile's 'Why should leaders pay attention?' slides; several reconstructed from multi-column layout (see notes). Many cite third parties (IDC, Gartner, NSR) as listed on the slide. rank = order on the 'Trends at a glance' page; forecast entries carry their trend's rank.
5G/6G cellular, wireless low-power networks, low-Earth-orbit satellites, and other technologies support a host of digital solutions that can help networks increase geographic coverage, reduce latency, reduce energy consumption, increase data throughput, and increase spectrum efficiency
