As a first-time recognized vendor, emnify believes this recognition reflects its forward-looking approach to IoT connectivity, building a platform designed to anticipate where enterprise needs are heading rather than replicating the connectivity models of the past.

"We feel being named a Visionary in our first appearance in the Gartner^® Magic Quadrant™ recognizes our deliberate strategy of the last decade: from owning our core network and pioneering satellite-cellular convergence on a single SIM, to embedding fine-tuned AI models directly into connectivity operations, every investment we have made has been in service of offering the highest degree of speed and control over connectivity to our customers. The advent of SGP.32 as a new standard will only further boost customer choice. For us, this recognition illustrates our position as a Visionary provider with full infrastructure ownership, intelligent orchestration, and lifecycle control at scale," said Frank Stoecker, Co-Founder and CEO at emnify.

emnify delivers hybrid connectivity, combining cellular (including LTE-M, NB-IoT, and 5G) and non-terrestrial networks through a single SIM and unified platform. This enables flexible and resilient deployment across diverse use cases, such as fleet management, EV charging, asset tracking, point-of-sale systems and connected consumer devices.

With more than 23 million IoT connections and SIMs deployed worldwide, emnify serves a global customer base spanning from scaling startups to large multinational enterprises. The company continues to invest in AI-driven automation, including an AI connectivity support copilot, anomaly detection, and SGP.32 orchestration, to reduce operational complexity as enterprise IoT deployments grow in scale and sophistication.

emnify's strength as an IoT connectivity provider has also been recognized across the industry via a series of recent awards, including the Gold Award for Telecoms Cloud Innovation 2026 (Juniper Research Future Digital Awards 2026), M2M Platform of the Year 2026 (IoT Breakthrough Awards), and the IoT Innovator Award for Aviation Connectivity Excellence 2025 (CompassIntel Tech Awards).
