Smart city technology markets set for rapid growth as cities prioritise operational outcomes
11 February 2026
Berg Insight has released the latest edition of its comprehensive smart city technology report, comprising in-depth studies of five key technology areas: smart street lighting, smart parking, smart waste collection, urban air quality monitoring and smart city surveillance.
In 2024, the global installed base excluding China of individually controlled smart street lights amounted to 27.9 million units. The corresponding figures for the smart waste and smart parking sensor technology markets were at the same time 1.56 million and 1.47 million units respectively. Smart parking sensors refers to in-ground or surface-mounted parking occupancy detection sensors whilst smart waste sensor technology consists of fill-level sensor devices that may either be pre-integrated into bins and containers, for example as a smart bin offering, or retrofitted on existing collection points.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is no longer an IT choice; it’s the operating system of business itself. From Salesforce to Workday, Microsoft 365 to Slack, the SaaS layer now underpins collaboration, analytics, and decision-making.
Yet, while businesses enjoy the convenience, scalability, and cost-efficiency these platforms offer, many overlook the hidden web of interconnected risks beneath them. The growing sophistication of SaaS supply chain attacks - particularly those exploiting connectors and OAuth trust chains - has made this one of the most insidious and underestimated threats in cybersecurity today.

11 February 2026
ADLINK has expanded its edge computing line-up with a new server board and three Intel Xeon 6-based GPU servers, as demand grows for more compute at industrial and on-premise sites.
The launch includes the ISB-W890 server board and the AXE-7440GW, AXE-7420GWA and AXE-7220GW systems. ADLINK is targeting organisations running advanced vision processing, analytics and generative AI inference outside central data centres. Edge deployments are moving from pilots to production, particularly in environments where connectivity limits, response-time needs and local data processing requirements shape system design. That shift is increasing demand for server-class systems suited to factory racks, labs and remote sites.
