Enterprise Opportunity 2022
Operator strategies, plans and expectations
There is growing awareness among enterprises of the benefits of mobile technologies (such as 4G and 5G) for digital transformation. For this reason, operators are now more focused than ever in serving the enterprise sector across various industry verticals.
This report presents the latest findings of our annual operator enterprise survey, in which we asked 100 operators globally about their enterprise business strategies, including how they carry out their plans and how they critically assess emerging opportunities. Focus areas include operators strategic priorities, internal reorganisation and investment in the enterprise business. Moreover, the survey takes a deep dive into 5G, private wireless networks and IoT, in terms of assessing progress made and tracking how much of an emphasis these areas are for operators going forward in 2023 and beyond.
As enterprise 5G opens up opportunities for more market entrants, we also asked operators to evaluate competitive forces and partnership opportunities in the wider enterprise technology ecosystem. Last but not least, looking out to the future, we evaluated operator sentiment with regard to the emerging metaverse and drones opportunities.

Industry Checkpoint: IoT, Q1 2026
This edition of the Industry Checkpoint series focuses on IoT, highlighting how the market has changed in the last six months and its implications. The report considers four major developments: the ramping up of commercial services based on SGP.32; LoRaWAN IoT integrating with the cellular and satellite ecosystems; momentum building for commercial offerings integrating NTN and cellular IoT; and eRedCap being positioned as a cost-efficient path to 5G for the next generation of IoT devices.
The State of 5G 2026
This report analyses the state of 5G, seven years after its commercial launch, using GSMA Intelligence’s 5G Connectivity Index to benchmark 46 markets across 5G infrastructure and services. It shows broad convergence across the foundation components (coverage, affordability, adoption), but reveals a widening gap on advanced capabilities, including 5G standalone (SA), 5G‑Advanced, uplink performance, fixed wireless access (FWA), IoT and RedCap.
From connectivity provider to growth partner
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are digitising rapidly, but telcos seize only a fraction of the opportunity due to gaps between SME expectations and current offerings. To unlock growth, telcos must simplify integration, make reliability visible, and shift from offering security tools to managed protection, delivering integrated, outcome-oriented solutions.
