Berlin, 28 January, 2026 - emnify, a global leader in IoT connectivity, has been named Gold Winner in the Telecoms Cloud Innovation category at the Juniper Research Future Digital Awards for Telco Innovation 2026. The award recognises emnify’s cloud-native mobile core network, which gives enterprises unmatched speed and control over global connectivity.
Juniper Research, a leading telecoms analyst firm, honours companies redefining how digital telecom services are delivered. emnify was recognised for the platform capabilities this architecture enables — including real-time connectivity control and innovations such as consumer eSIM provisioning via mobile device management (MDM).
Unlike traditional operators that rely on static, region-bound core infrastructure, emnify operates a fully cloud-native mobile core across nine global regions, supporting both real-time network-layer controls and consumer eSIM provisioning via MDM. This architecture enables real-time policy enforcement, flexible routing decisions, and rapid scaling without operational delays or manual intervention.
As a result, enterprises can bring devices online in minutes, apply connectivity rules instantly, and maintain consistent control as deployments scale across countries and networks.
This award builds on emnify’s continued recognition by Juniper Research. In 2025, emnify received the Platinum Award for eSIM Management Platform Innovation, recognising its leadership in consumer eSIM provisioning and SGP.22 integrations via enterprise systems such as MDM. While that award focused on SIM lifecycle innovation, the 2026 Gold Award highlights the network layer itself, and the cloud-native core that powers emnify’s broader connectivity platform.
“Telecoms innovation today is about speed and control at scale,” said Frank Stoecker, Co-founder and CEO of emnify. “This award recognises the architectural foundation of our platform. By running our own cloud-native core network, we remove the friction, delays, and rigidity that enterprises experience with traditional connectivity providers.”
emnify’s cloud core supports regional and local data breakout, compliance-driven routing, and real-time visibility into connectivity behaviour. Customers can adapt connectivity policies immediately in response to operational changes, performance issues, or regulatory requirements, without waiting on operator workflows.
Today, emnify supports millions of connected devices worldwide across industries including aviation, logistics, fleet management and digital infrastructure. Its platform enables enterprises to deploy globally, scale rapidly, and maintain precise control over connectivity from a single interface.
With support for SGP.02 (M2M), SGP.22 (consumer), and upcoming SGP.32 (IoT) standards, emnify continues to deliver future-ready connectivity built on a cloud-native foundation.
