TELCO INSIGHTS THAT MOVE MARKETS
Welcome to the January 2026 issue of Telco Magazine, where we explore the technologies and leadership shaping a defining year for global connectivity. From 5G expansion and Open RAN commercialisation to satellite-enabled IoT and AI-driven network intelligence, this edition highlights the innovations transforming how operators build, manage and monetise next-generation infrastructure. This month, we spotlight:
• How eSIMs are driving a new era of innovation, featuring Rakuten Mobile’ s Tarek Zeid
• Geotab founder Neil Cawse on AI, telematics and fleet-focused sustainability
• Sateliot’ s new Barcelona hub is accelerating 5G satellite development and industrial IoT reach
We also examine T-Systems’ cutting-edge SOOFI initiative and the growing convergence between telecoms and home EV charging, plus our Top 10 Cybersecurity Solutions for Telcos.
