Contact usElectric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure has been expanding at a fast pace, with the number of charging points in some markets increasing by over 40% per year. However, the adoption of EVs has been slower than expected, with consumers pointing to a lack of reliable charging services and challenges in discovery and interoperability being some of the top hurdles. For IoT connectivity providers, there are opportunities here thanks to the combination of a favourable policy environment, the rapid expansion of EV infrastructure and the persisting challenges in end-user experiences. This report explains the connectivity needs of EV chargers, identifies the current trends in European markets and the US, and explores the options for telecoms operators and IoT MVNOs to make the most of the opportunity through to 2030.

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.
5G in Malaysia: driving a fast-growing tech economy
Malaysia is emerging as one of Southeast Asia’s most strategically important digital economies, underpinned by strong government support, rising enterprise technology investment and one of the region’s most advanced 5G rollouts. 5G adoption in Malaysia now at around 50% of the mobile customer base, meaning the country has the infrastructure underpinning to drive enterprise transformation.
