Precise but high-cost hardware systems and invasive infrastructures of wired devices also pose implementation issues in the Industrial IoT (IIoT).
It offers good performance, but the high cost of the hardware prohibits it from being widely deployed.
Meanwhile, iPhone penetration was "unsurprisingly low" in the teen age-group across all the surveyed countries — doubtless owing to the relatively high cost of Apple hardware.
The process of conversion to computerized numerical controls involves a huge effort in conceptualizing and control of the key components of each machine tool, including the high cost of the hardware used.
This brings a higher cost of hardware and services, resulting in a higher ownership cost.
All three had business practices that dis-incentivized indies (expensive dev kits, custom hardware, high cost of implementing TRCs, unfriendly revenue share etc) and felt out of step in an App Store world.
Don't let the death of Google Glass mislead you, augmented reality is primed to explode among a public that wants virtual reality, but can't afford the high cost of early VR hardware.
The results show that our architecture is preferable when low cost hardware and high performance are the goals.
Or if you're building consumer electronics the key activities might be: low cost hardware design, high volume manufacturing, user interface design, consumer branding and retail distribution.
Blame it on the high costs of clunky hardware, the absence of "hit" content or a general lack of consumer interest, but the industry's projected $700 billion revenue by 2025 certainly seems a tad ambitious at this point.
Given the high costs of venue hardware and installation (ripping out and rebuilding countertops late at night), it's been difficult for them to expand into more venues — and they have yet to find a viable revenue model for their wireless charging network.
