CTHINGS.CO's Edge IoT Technology Stack is powering a live Wirepas NR+ interoperability demonstration at Mobile World Congress.
This week at Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona, CTHINGS.CO’s Edge IoT Technology Stack is running live on the show floor as part of the Wirepas NR+ interoperability demonstration, bringing decentralized non-cellular 5G connectivity into a real operational environment.
The deployment showcases how next-generation wireless connectivity and edge infrastructure work together to support interoperable, large-scale IoT networks.
NR+ is a new non-cellular 5G wireless standard designed specifically for large-scale IoT environments. Built for high device density and reliable performance in license-free spectrum, NR+ enables devices from different manufacturers to communicate on the same network.
At MWC Barcelona, this capability is demonstrated through a multi-vendor ecosystem deployment, where devices operate together on a shared mesh infrastructure.
CTHINGS.CO’s Orchestra Platform, together with Edge IoT Gateways and Connectivity Cards, provides the edge layer required to deploy and operate these networks in production environments.
Through the platform, organizations can:
This operational layer enables interoperable connectivity standards like NR+ to move from specification to real-world deployment.
As IoT networks scale, operational control, security, and lifecycle management become essential.
The CTHINGS.CO Orchestra Platform allows organizations to deploy, manage, and maintain IoT infrastructure across distributed environments, simplifying operations while maintaining reliability and control.
This approach also helps organizations prepare for evolving regulatory requirements such as:
By integrating connectivity, device management, and operational visibility at the edge, CTHINGS.CO helps organizations ensure their IoT infrastructure remains secure, compliant, and scalable over time.
The live deployment at MWC Barcelona 2026 highlights the power of ecosystem collaboration.
Together with the Wirepas and Nordic Semiconductor, and technology partners, the demonstration shows how open connectivity standards and edge infrastructure can enable interoperable IoT deployments at scale.
Rather than isolated vendor solutions, the demonstration represents a shared infrastructure approach, where multiple technologies and devices operate together within the same network environment.
