MWC 2026 Post-Show Analysis:
Trends, Tech and Takeaways



 

ON DEMAND


Mobile World Congress 2026 has wrapped — and the real question now is: what actually matters?

Ahead of the event, we shared our MWC 2026 Pre-Show Predictions, highlighting the themes we expected to dominate — from AI-native networks to NTN/D2D momentum and 5G Standalone monetization.

Now it’s time to assess what delivered, what surprised us, and what it all means for the telecom industry in 2026 and beyond.

Hosted by Sylwia Kechiche, VP of Industry Analysis, alongside Opensignal’s analyst team, this focused 45-minute session will cover:

  • The biggest trends from MWC 2026 — and what’s hype vs. real traction

  • AI in telecom: from AI-RAN to RAN-AI

  • NTN and direct-to-device developments gaining momentum

  • 5G Standalone monetization and infrastructure evolution

  • What we heard directly from operators, vendors, and industry leaders

If you joined our pre-MWC session, this is the essential follow-up. If you didn’t, this is your concise briefing on what you need to know.
