Hardware Pioneers 2025 focused on embedded GenAI, decoupled eSIMs and access technologies

Analysys Mason recently attended the Hardware Pioneers 2025 conference in London. The event held discussions that highlighted a growing interest in emerging network access technologies, such as Cat-1-bis and 5G reduced capability (RedCap), as well as a move to decouple eSIM provisioning from specific mobile network operators (MNOs). There is also a growing interest in embedding AI, particularly generative AI (GenAI), directly into device hardware. While these topics align with broader industry trends, their prominent discussion at Hardware Pioneers 2025 underscores the increasing interest in more flexible and autonomous IoT solutions.
