Europe Leads World in Digital Terrestrial TV

Want to see the latest in digital broadcast television innovation? Go to Europe.

Europe is leading the world in the fast-growing digital terrestrial platform (DTT), though other regions are gaining momentum, according to the latest study by In-Stat.

With analog shutoffs (ASOs) approaching in North America and Western Europe, strong drivers for digital terrestrial set top boxes are on the horizon as consumers transition from analog to digital.

While other regions are further behind the digital curve, actions are being taken to expand digital services; whether it is formally adopting a standard (e.g. Honduras and ATSC) or anticipating DTT launches (e.g. Brazil), digital is becoming a global change.

In-Stat's latest market study found the following:

- Total unit shipments of digital terrestrial set top boxes will eclipse 47 million in 2011.

- U.S. converter boxes will hit the market in 2008.

- Revenue will have a more subdued compound annual growth rate (18.2 percent) than unit sales growth, in large part, due to decreasing set top box prices.

AI-Driven Data Center Liquid Cooling Demand

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and hyperscale cloud computing is fundamentally reshaping data center infrastructure, and liquid cooling is emerging as an indispensable solution. As traditional air-cooled systems reach their physical limits, the IT industry is under pressure to adopt more efficient thermal management strategies to meet growing demands, while complying with stringent environmental regulations. Liquid Cooling Market Development The latest ABI Research analysis reveals momentum in liquid cooling adoption. Installations are forecast to quadruple between 2023 and 2030. The market will reach $3.7 billion in value by the decade's end, with a CAGR of 22 percent. The urgency behind these numbers becomes clear when examining energy metrics: liquid cooling systems demonstrate 40 percent greater energy efficiency when compared to conventional air-cooling architectures, while simultaneously enabling ~300-500 percent increases in computational density per rac...
