Thousands of technology professionals will gather at MWC Barcelona 2026, drawing major players in the IoT market. Telit Cinterion plans to use this high-visibility platform to demonstrate new solutions that promise to improve the way connected devices are managed and brought online. The company will showcase its latest CMB100 embedded modem and NExT™ eSIM technologies, which are expected to impact deployment strategies, device management processes, and operational costs for manufacturers worldwide. Solutions displayed will highlight rapid prototyping, automated SIM activations, and advanced edge intelligence, aiming to support OEMs in critical industries where reliability and agility matter most.
While Telit Cinterion’s CMB100 and eSIM launches mark a step towards software-centric device control, recent coverage of earlier events showcased a focus largely on hardware integration and compatibility challenges for global deployments. Over time, the emphasis has shifted from addressing localized connectivity barriers to highlighting multi-carrier flexibility, automated provisioning, and seamless lifecycle management. Strategic partnerships, such as continued collaboration with Nokia on digital mining, have amplified Telit Cinterion’s offering from basic communication modules to solutions addressing network resilience and real-time intelligence. Newer product releases also stress remote device adaptation and compliance in response to evolving cellular standards.
How Are Telit Cinterion’s Solutions Being Showcased at MWC?
Telit Cinterion will present a live demonstration featuring the CMB100 embedded modem integrated with NExT™ eSIM. This demo will display the eSIM’s full lifecycle, covering remote profile downloads, swaps, deletions, and environmental data reporting. Functionality will be complemented by location and radius reporting, providing visibility for industries relying on real-time networked devices. The showcase also includes a closer look at how these modules enable rapid prototyping and streamlined activation for manufacturers.
What Are the Main Features of NExT™ eSIM Flex?
NExT™ eSIM Flex removes the need to maintain extensive inventories of physical SIMs, simplifying worldwide device deployment and management. With over-the-air profile management, OEMs benefit from quicker adaptation to changing connectivity requirements and smoother compliance with regional regulations. The capability to update SIM profiles remotely reduces operational friction and accelerates time-to-market for smart devices. Manufacturers can focus on product innovation without facing delays tied to carrier selection and physical stock limitations.
What Role Do Partnerships and Industry Use Cases Play?
Telit Cinterion continues its partnership with Nokia through participation in the Cognitive Digital Mining (CDM) demonstration. The CDM platform leverages Telit Cinterion’s advanced modules for secure, SLA-driven network access and real-time edge analytics in mission-critical sectors, especially mining. The ME310M1 module, slated for Skylo certification, further underlines the company’s engagement in the non-terrestrial network space. The firm’s integration efforts aim to provide industrial customers a pathway for deploying applications anywhere, ensuring high network uptime and flexibility.
“At MWC Barcelona, we’re raising the bar for how global IoT is designed, activated, and scaled. Powered by our award‑winning NExT™ eSIM Flex and fully digital, GSMA SGP.32‑ready eSIM provisioning, OEMs can finally deliver true single‑SKU devices – activated seamlessly in‑factory or instantly at first power‑up in the field,”
said Martin Krona, President Services and Solutions at Telit Cinterion. The company highlights the benefits for service providers and enterprises, focusing on the agility and reliability necessary in modern IoT ecosystems.
“Service providers gain unmatched reach and flexibility to launch applications anywhere, while mission-critical industries can rely on our resilient, always on network stack engineered for maximum uptime.”
Beyond immediate product presentations, Telit Cinterion’s direction signals broader industry trends where IoT connectivity is managed through software, responding swiftly to emerging requirements and regulations. Companies adopting modular, software-first approaches benefit from increased device lifespan and flexible deployment, reducing costs traditionally linked to SIM logistics. Organizations considering IoT investments can leverage Telit Cinterion’s offerings to simplify compliance, broaden geographical coverage, and capitalize on new use cases in remote monitoring, asset tracking, and edge processing. Staying informed about these shifts can help companies minimize the risks linked to legacy SIM procurement, while maximizing the value of global IoT rollouts.
