The writers at telecoms.com perfectly summed up this year’s show:
“The overwhelming consensus seemed to be that MWC 2022 exceeded everyone’s expectations. The cliché that ‘people do business with people’ was reinforced once more and, at times, it felt more like a school reunion than a trade show. It really was great to see everyone again and our only regret is that the success of this year’s show makes it likely it will soon return to its overpopulated pomp.”
For us, the show felt more like it did ten years ago - smaller, more focused, and much more manageable.
Telecom26, 5G, IoT Connectivity, Global Connectivity and MWC
For the Telecom26 team in Barcelona, MWC was very productive. It was brilliant to meet current and potential customers, partners, other vendors, and industry friends in person.
We showcased our entire product portfolio including Global Data Connectivity, IoT, 5G, maritime and nearshore connectivity, and Private Mobile Networks.
Our Upgrade 5G Service
As a global connectivity service provider, we have, of course, been tracking the progress of 5G for years - constantly assessing the needs of our customers, partners and prospects - and figuring out if they would actually benefit from having access to 5G networks around the world.
Following extensive testing of a number of 5G networks from operators around the world, we will be adding roaming 5G networks as soon as they are available to our Global Roaming Service which currently provides seamless coverage across 1100 cellular networks from over 650 unique mobile operators in more than 200 countries and territories, where coverage is available.
5G will be available to all our customers with the same pricing as our other services. However, we will be staying true to our mission of providing the best, and most suitable, connectivity for our customers, 5G or otherwise.

Our New Global Traveller Plan
Designed for demanding travellers, the Global Traveller plan is perfect for both professional and leisure users– anyone that needs reliable connectivity, at the right price.
It’s an all-inclusive package that offers full mobile connectivity, voice and messaging – with truly global coverage which will give you everything you need, based on the widest range of roaming agreements, spanning more than 200 countries and global networks – so you can get connected, wherever you are.
Upgrade of our Caribbean Data Connect service
This provides low-cost, high data usage connectivity in the Caribbean region. It’s optimised to provide a comprehensive ‘near-to-shore’ solution for data backhaul and is ideal for yachts, cruises and other vessels in the Caribbean seas. Our networks in the Carribean cover more countries than ever before.
At Mobile World Congress we also discussed and demonstrated our:
- eSIMs for Consumer and M2M
These support GSMA-certified M2M-eSIM platform (SMDP+/SMDP/SMSR) and are compliant with all GSMA Remote Provisioning standards.
eSIM M2M enable a greenfield M2M customer to deploy, run and manage an end-to-end M2M service. They can integrate with any third party SMSR to provision third-party M2M eSIM-compatible devices
eSIM Consumer is a solution already in use by thousands of T26’s happy subscribers
- Private Mobile Networks
We plan, enable, and manage secure private and semi-private mobile networks for any requirement, anywhere you need them. Self-contained, and with secure access to our global network, they are ideal for permanent, temporary or portable deployment.
Our private mobile networks are optimised for performance, ensuring they can deliver the assurance you need for a wide range of applications. From business critical to mission critical and beyond, we deliver.
