See the developments most likely to affect how connected products are planned, deployed, and supported. 

MWC 2026 pointed to a more mature cellular IoT market. The conversation is moving beyond what is technically possible and towards what it takes to deploy and run connected services at scale. 

If you are planning new rollouts, expanding across markets, or rethinking long-term viability, these are the shifts worth paying attention to:

• 5G is now judged on real-world performance, not potential

• SGP.32 is reshaping how connectivity flexibility is managed

• Satellite is moving from hype to practical use cases

• Security is becoming a key factor in commercial viability

So who is this overview for? 

Teams working on IoT product strategy, connectivity planning, deployment and rollout decisions, architecture and integration, and/or security and lifecycle management.
