From August 26 to 28, 2026, the 25th International IoT Exhibition (IOTE 2026) was held at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center (Bao'an). Coinciding with the critical convergence of AI and IoT, the exhibition showcased an evolving industrial landscape where artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things are deeply intertwined across the entire value chain of perception, network, platform, and application.

 A Grand Gathering: Over 130,000 Visitors Embrace AIoT

According to official statistics, this edition covered 80,000 square meters of exhibition space, bringing together 1,012 exhibitors, including more than 50 international brands from over 70 countries and regions. Over three days, the show attracted 133,423 professional visitors, with 7,104 overseas attendees accounting for 8.19% of the total. Intentional transaction volume reached 3.9 billion RMB, setting a new record and underscoring the robust vitality of China's IoT market.

Four Themed Halls: A Panorama of the Industry

This edition utilized four themed halls (9–12) aligned with industrial upgrade directions: Hall 9 focused on Passive IoT and smart terminals; Hall 10 showcased industrial connectivity and sensing/positioning; Hall 11 presented "Digital China" scenario solutions; and Hall 12 centered on general-purpose AI. More than 40 forums, summits, and product launches featured over 500 domestic and international speakers, including 15 academicians, with in-depth discussions on AIoT integration, edge intelligence, and low-power wide-area communications.

EBYTE Shines at Booth 10A1 with Full-Stack Solutions

As a leading provider of wireless communication solutions, Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (EBYTE) showcased four major product lines at Booth 10A1, Hall 10, demonstrating integrated capabilities from wireless modules to edge computing:

• Wireless Modules: LoRa, Bluetooth, and WiFi solutions featuring industrial-grade design, long-range transmission, low power consumption, and strong anti-interference, supporting transparent transmission and self-organizing networks for flexible deployment across various scenarios.

• Industrial Communication: Self-developed wireless modules, industrial DTUs, gateways, and remote I/O enabling multi-protocol interoperability across serial, CAN, and Ethernet interfaces.

• Industrial Computing: Embedded core boards, programmable industrial PCs, and edge gateways for local data processing and multi-protocol conversion, reducing cloud dependency.

• Complementary Ecosystem: Antennas, power supplies, and sensors forming an end-to-end system chain with the aforementioned product lines.

Throughout the exhibition, the EBYTE booth drew a constant stream of visitors. Its engineering team engaged in deep exchanges with integrators and end users from around the world, earning widespread recognition for its integrated "communication modules + edge computing + scenario-based solutions" capabilities.

Trend Watch: AIoT Moving from Concept to Scale

Three major trends were clearly visible at this exhibition. First, the boundary between AI and IoT is dissolving—"AIoT" has moved from concept to large-scale implementation, with general-purpose large models rapidly integrating with sensing terminals. Second, industrial connectivity has become the core growth engine, with strong demand for products such as industrial DTUs and edge gateways. Third, global expansion is accelerating; with overseas visitors accounting for about 8%, the global influence of China's IoT supply chain continues to rise.

Though the three-day event has come to an end, the industrial transformation driven by AIoT is only just accelerating. Companies like EBYTE, through sustained technological innovation and scenario-based development, are building a solid foundation for a fully connected intelligent world. We look forward to reuniting in Shenzhen next year for the next technological rendezvous.
