The IoT landscape is shifting from simple connectivity to mission-critical infrastructure, and the requirements for global success are being rewritten. Live from MWC Barcelona 2026, we captured an essential conversation at the Giesecke+Devrient booth between Satyajit Sinha, Senior Principal Analyst at IoT Analytics, and Alistair Elliott, the head of the connectivity portfolio at G+D.
In this interview, Satyajit and Alistair explore the rapid evolution of the market and why “best-effort” connectivity is no longer enough for the next generation of IoT deployments.
Key Topics Explored in the Video:
- Market Evolution: How the IoT connectivity landscape has transformed over the last 2–3 years to meet more sophisticated enterprise needs.
- Next-Gen Capabilities: Defining the features – from resilience to security – that will characterize the industry leaders of tomorrow.
- The Power of the Full Stack: Why controlling every layer of connectivity is essential for delivering the reliability and flexibility promised by new standards like SGP.32.
- IoTgo in Action: A look at how G+D’s connectivity solution is simplifying global management for complex device estates.
“Many companies talk about SGP.32, but few control the full connectivity stack. This interview explains why that matters in practice.”
Whether you are navigating new regulatory requirements or scaling a global production, Alistair’s insights provide a roadmap for building confidence in your IoT strategy.
