Smart manufacturing: 5G engineers the future of IoT
Adoption of IoT in the manufacturing sector faces the challenges of long replacement cycles for machines, difficulties retrofitting and IT/OT integration issues. However, Covid-19 has proved to be a catalyst for Industry 4.0; it has exacerbated existing challenges and pain points for manufacturers and accelerated the need for smart connectivity and digital transformation.
5G is shaping the future of IoT, enabling manufacturers to extract further value through productivity enhancements and new sources of revenues. Data is the link between these activities and what drives digital transformation. In this latest report, GSMA Intelligence discusses the benefits 5G brings to the manufacturing sector in terms of latency, density, reliability and security. It discusses the role of private networks, the different deployment models available and the industry players eyeing the opportunity ahead.

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.
