Telenor IoT
@ IoT Tech Expo North America 2026

At IoT Tech Expo North America 2026, the conversation among industry leaders, partners, and exhibitors shifted decisively from theoretical capabilities to real-world execution. As millions of new devices rapidly come online, the primary challenge is no longer just establishing a connection, but managing the massive, complex ecosystems that result. Discussions throughout the event made it clear that organizations are now urgently prioritizing the data infrastructure, intelligence, and hardware flexibility required to support faster, more resilient decision-making at scale.

What Stood Out at IoT Tech Expo North America 2026

1

Data Ingestion & AI-Driven Infrastructure

With massive volumes of data streaming from expanding IoT ecosystems, immense focus was placed on expanding data centers and building robust infrastructure. Organizations are racing to efficiently ingest, process, and extract actionable value from this data using industrial AI.

2

The SGP.32 Standard & Next-Gen Provisioning

The industry is entering a new era of global device management. The arrival of the SGP.32 eSIM specification is fundamentally changing how connected devices are provisioned and managed at scale, drastically lowering the friction for global deployments.

3

Highly Flexible, Hybrid Connectivity

The future of IoT connectivity is becoming explicitly multi-technology. To ensure reliable, resilient, and continuous communication across mission-critical applications and globally distributed assets, businesses are actively blending satellite, cellular, 5G, and edge computing.

4

Tangible Sustainability & Operational Efficiency

Connected technology is increasingly being viewed through the lens of resource optimization. Real-world use cases—like smart factory platforms and connected automated tools—highlighted how IoT can directly drive sustainability, reduce manual effort, and optimize operational costs.

None of these trends are entirely new. What has changed is the velocity at which they have moved from high-level industry discussion into practical, immediate decision-making for businesses building in the connected technology space.
