Webinar - MWC 2026 trends for critical IoT connectivity

Mobile World Congress in Barcelona is a must-attend event for anyone in the mobile industry, offering a showcase of the key trends and an essential opportunity for taking the pulse of the sector. Many of the key themes relate very closely to IoT connectivity.

In this webinar, Matt Hatton, Founding Partner of Transforma Insights will be joined by Daan de Wijs, Head of Business Development for rSIM at CSL Group to discuss what they saw at MWC 2026 in the context of the key trends in IoT connectivity for 2026.

We anticipate that key themes that are likely to surface at the event will include:

  • The arrival of SGP.32 remote SIM provisioning. The new RSP technology is finally here and promises the potential for significant changes in how cellular-based IoT connectivity is delivered. We will discuss how the market is reacting to its arrival.
  • Delivering resilient and robust connectivity. The provision of cellular-based connectivity continues to be dogged by outages, which can be disastrous for critical applications. We will be looking for capabilities that help connectivity providers deliver more robust and resilient connectivity, such as with rSIM.
  • The persisting promise of 5G. Despite significant investment from MNOs, until now there has been only modest use of the inherent capabilities of 5G for delivering high reliability, lower latency and exposure of network functions. We will explore how that might be changing.
  • Non-Terrestrial Networks. NTN is one of the most talked-about topics in IoT connectivity today, incorporating the use of LEO and GEO satellite constellations to deliver an expanded footprint for technologies more traditionally used in terrestrial cellular networks.
  • The use of AI. It’s impossible to avoid discussion of AI in IoT, whether it’s as a driver for adoption – with IoT as the eyes and ears of AI – or for streamlining of operations or enhancing anomaly detection.
  • The challenge of localisation. Regulation and requirements for optimisation of service delivery are driving the need for local hosting of network infrastructure, cellular connectivity localisation, and other compliance considerations.
  • And more.

As part of the webinar, Daan will also share an update on rSIM, including deep dive analysis of real, anonymised outage events from the last 18 months, a comparison of rSIM with multi-IMSI, the implications of rSIM for enterprises and mobile network operators, and upcoming rSIM developments.
