AIoT, eSIM & More: Telenor IoT at IoT Tech Expo North America 2025
Held June 4–5 in Santa Clara, California, IoT Tech Expo North America brought together leaders, innovators, and disruptors from across the global IoT ecosystem. For Telenor IoT, it marked our first time exhibiting at this flagship event—and certainly not the last.
From our buzzing booth to a packed keynote, we engaged with decision-makers from startups to enterprises, discussing the technologies and trends shaping the future of connected solutions.
AI + IoT: The Power Couple Driving Industry Transformation
In one of the event’s standout keynotes, our CTO Martin Whitlock explored the convergence of AI and IoT (or “AIoT”) and why it’s becoming central to digital transformation across industries. Martin shared how AI enhances IoT through smarter data analysis, predictive maintenance, and edge intelligence, while IoT enriches AI with real-time data, context, and scale.
Watch the full keynote:
Key takeaways from the presentation:
- AIoT is unlocking new operational efficiencies and business models
- Cellular connectivity, including eSIM and 5G, is critical to enabling AI at the edge
- Telenor IoT’s AI-powered monitoring platform processes 1.5 billion real-time events daily, identifying 99% of connectivity issues before customers notice
One example shared on stage: Waste Vision, a Telenor IoT customer using smart sensors and AI to optimize waste collection—reducing costs and emissions while improving service.
What’s Next for AIoT?
As the lines between AI, IoT, and automation blur, enterprises face new opportunities and new challenges. IoT adoption is growing fast, but many are still discovering how to scale it securely, reliably, and globally.
That’s where Telenor IoT can help. With 20+ years of experience, 25+ million SIMs deployed, and a top-rated IoT offering across continents, we’re ready to support the next phase of AIoT evolution.
