BARCELONA – Telit Cinterion is showcasing advancements in IoT connectivity, particularly around eSIM technology, at Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2026, running March 2-5. The company’s demonstrations, available at stand 5B32, focus on simplifying device prototyping and scaling for mission-critical IoT applications globally. This push comes as demand grows for more flexible and secure connectivity solutions in a rapidly expanding IoT landscape.
At the heart of Telit Cinterion’s presentation is the CMB100 embedded modem, paired with its NExT™ eSIM. The company is demonstrating the complete eSIM lifecycle – from profile download and swapping to deletion – alongside real-time data from temperature and humidity sensors, and the CMB100’s location and radius reporting capabilities. This conclude-to-end control is designed to streamline the activation and management of IoT devices, a historically complex and time-consuming process.
Simplifying Global Deployments with eSIM Technology
A key challenge for businesses deploying IoT devices across multiple countries is managing the complexities of physical SIM cards and navigating varying carrier agreements. Telit Cinterion’s NExT™ eSIM Flex aims to address this by eliminating the need for physical SIM inventory. The solution offers flexible subscription management and broad carrier interoperability, enabling fast, remote profile updates to keep devices compliant with evolving connectivity requirements. What we have is particularly crucial for industries where devices operate in diverse and changing regulatory environments.
According to Telit Cinterion, the NExT™ eSIM Flex allows for “true single-SKU devices” that can be activated seamlessly either in the factory or remotely in the field. This capability is expected to significantly reduce operational costs and accelerate time to market for manufacturers and service providers. Martin Krona, President Services and Solutions at Telit Cinterion, stated that the company is “raising the bar for how global IoT is designed, activated, and scaled.”
Collaboration with Nokia for Mining Applications
Telit Cinterion is likewise highlighting a collaboration with Nokia, showcasing the Nokia Cognitive Digital Mining (CDM) platform. This platform leverages Telit Cinterion’s advanced modules to deliver real-time edge intelligence and SLA-driven multi-access networking for next-generation mining operations. The demo underscores the growing importance of reliable, high-performance connectivity in demanding industrial environments.
The Nokia CDM platform utilizes the ME310M1 module, among others from Telit Cinterion, and is slated for certification with Skylo later this year, demonstrating a continued partnership in non-terrestrial network (NTN) innovation. This suggests a focus on extending connectivity to remote locations where traditional cellular networks are unavailable or unreliable.
Expanding the IoT Ecosystem
These innovations reflect Telit Cinterion’s broader strategy of providing end-to-end IoT solutions. The company positions itself as a key enabler for enterprises and operators looking to enhance reliability, reduce costs, and deploy next-generation applications across critical industries. As the largest western provider pioneering IoT innovation, Telit Cinterion delivers award-winning and highly secure IoT solutions, modules and services for the industry’s top brands.
The company’s portfolio includes enterprise-grade wireless communication and positioning modules, cellular MVNO connectivity plans, edge-cloud software, and data orchestration tools. By offering a comprehensive suite of services, Telit Cinterion aims to simplify the complexities of IoT deployment and management for its customers.
Attendees at MWC Barcelona can explore these solutions firsthand at stand 5B32. Further information is available on the Telit Cinterion website.
Looking ahead, Telit Cinterion will continue to focus on expanding its eSIM capabilities and forging partnerships to deliver innovative IoT solutions. The company’s next major milestone is the Skylo certification of the ME310M1 module, expected later in 2026, which will further extend its reach into remote and underserved markets.
