Wireless IoT 2026 – Wireless technologies that connect our world
Wireless IoT will be infrastructure by 2026. We classify 5G RedCap/NTN, Wi-Fi HaLow/7, Thread/Matter, BLE/UWB, LoRaWAN, and RFID/NFC and show suitable use cases.
Insights from the Livestream
Discover the key takeaways and what you can apply right away
-
5G becomes IoT-compatible: RedCap closes the gap between LTE-M and "full" 5G, NTN brings IoT to places where there are no cell towers.
-
Wi-Fi gains range: HaLow makes Wi-Fi exciting for long distances and building penetration, while Wi-Fi 7 brings performance reserves for IoT edge cases.
-
Smart homes are finally becoming interoperable: Thread + Matter + BLE provide an IP-based foundation that "just works" and brings device ecosystems together.
-
Context beats connectivity: UWB for precision, RFID/NFC for identity – together with BLE/Edge, new "aware" use cases are emerging (tracking, access, product pass, retail).
