IoT Predictions Report 2026
Hybrid Connectivity, SGP.32 and the Cyber Resilience Act.
In this year’s IoT Predictions Report, Telenor IoT highlights the key trends and shifts that will define the connected landscape in 2026.
We have entered an era of overwhelming choice. As innovations such as Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) and SGP.32 expand what is possible, global regulations including the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and others are tightening the rules. At the same time, AI is adding yet another layer of complexity.
With all of this said, the defining enterprise challenge of 2026 is no longer connectivity; it is orchestration.
What will Define IoT in 20206?
“In 2026, the ‘lowest price’ is often the highest operational risk. Gaps in visibility will increasingly be interpreted as an orchestration failure rather than a technical limitation.” - Martin Whitlock, CTO of Telenor Connexion
Key IoT Predictions for 2026:
The Expansion of Reach (Hybrid Connectivity)
The Expansion of Flexibility (SGP.32)
The Constraint of Security (CRA & Regulation)
