Beyond the Sunset – Your 2026 IoT Roadmap

  • Date: June 11, 11:30 – 12:30 CET

  • Platform: Gotowebinar, you will receive the link via email after filling out the registration form below.

The 2G/3G sunset was supposed to be a “cliff.” Instead, it has become a “swamp” of fragmented coverage, roaming gaps, and firmware traps.

For the last five years, the industry was told to migrate to NB-IoT and LTE-M. But the reality of 2026 has shifted the landscape. Join experts from Telenor IoT for a one-hour deep dive into the latest market update to discover why the safest “Safe Harbor” for your global fleet has changed, and why waiting for “next-gen” tech like 5G RedCap might be a gamble you can’t afford.

Why You Should Join

In just 60 minutes, we will clear the fog on the future of connectivity:

  • The 2026 Reality Check: Learn why 4G LTE (specifically Cat-1 and Cat-1 bis) has emerged as the safest default for international roaming over LPWA alternatives.
  • Hardware Strategy: Discover how the combination of Cat-1 bis and eSIM (eUICC) enables a “Single SKU” manufacturing strategy, reducing inventory complexity and cost.
  • 5G RedCap & Satellite (NTN): Get an understanding of when these technologies will actually be “roaming-ready” for global enterprise use.
  • The 10-Year Lifecycle: Why 4G remains the global backbone well into the 2030s, providing a secure, proven path forward.

Who Is This For?

This session is designed for decision-makers and technical leads navigating the complexities of global deployments:

  • IoT Product Managers & Hardware Directors: Looking to simplify manufacturing with a single hardware variant for global markets.
  • Operations & Logistics Teams: Tired of managing “patchy” roaming and regional hardware variants.
  • Technical Architects: Needing to future-proof devices against spectrum re-farming and “black hole” coverage issues.
  • Strategic Buyers: Evaluating the cost-to-performance ratio of Cat-1 bis versus traditional LPWA modules.

 

Stop waiting for the perfect network. Join us to learn how to leverage the one that is already running globally.
