Contact usSmart utilities have been a prime area for IoT, including applications such as smart metering and the installation of sensor technologies in power grid infrastructure. The recent acceleration in deployments and adoption of cellular-based IoT, notably NB-IoT, is making smart utilities an even more attractive opportunity for operators.
Meanwhile, wider trends are at play in the IoT market – specifically, the growing penetration of eSIM and the integration of connectivity into IoT devices earlier on in the manufacturing process. These are having a direct impact on smart metering applications and should be factored into the strategies of IoT ecosystem players.

Network API demand index: a vertical-sector view
Monetisation is the key objective in 2026 for telcos on APIs (as with other business lines) and their distribution partners, with the implications for go-to-market strategies being different depending on the API and buyer. It is important to quantify the commercial potential and buying likelihood of APIs across different sectors of the economy to accurately orient supply. To that end, GSMA Intelligence has developed the Open Gateway Demand Index, which aggregates a range of metrics to help understand where demand lies and the commercial opportunity for network APIs in each sector.
