# Wave 3 – Opportunity Areas Horizontalization is the epic battle between solution-driven, software-led, hardware optimizing approaches that solve use cases vs. integrated hardware + software stack builders aiming for step changes in the effectiveness of technology. Horizontal models that flexibly and cost-effectively extend features into other domains will win out over domain-specific device plumbing in the long term​, and is the essence of Wave 3 Opportunity Areas. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
