Telenor IoT hits device connection milestone
Telenor’s dedicated IoT unit has passed 30 million connected devices, joining other providers such as Aeris and Netmore Group in publicising large-scale deployments. The figure sits against an industry backdrop of 24.1 billion connected IoT devices worldwide at the end of 2025, according to IoT Analytics.
Over the past year, Telenor says it has expanded its global IoT business, adding AI-based analytics tools and supporting the GSMA’s SGP.32 eSIM standard to manage connectivity. The company reports growing traction in the US and Asia, helped by local operations that ease roaming issues, and has launched a system tailored to software-defined vehicles. Telenor Connexion CEO and IoT head Mats Lundquist says passing 30 million devices supports its push to become a leading global IoT provider.
