Wireless IoT 2026 – Wireless technologies that connect our world

From 5G RedCap & satellite IoT to Wi-Fi HaLow, Thread/Matter, BLE/UWB, and RFID/NFC

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).

    Understanding Chipless RFID: From the Radar Principle to Scalable Identification

    Chipless RFID: Operating Principles, Current State of Research, and Remaining Challenges

    How can objects be identified without a silicon chip? Chipless RFID uses electromagnetic signatures instead of integrated circuits—an approach with enormous potential for mass identification. The presentation explains the physical principle, compares the technology with classic RFID and optical identification, and shows where research and development stand today. The focus is on key hurdles such as data density, susceptibility to interference, and the lack of standards, as well as current approaches from industry and research.
