Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 was a thrilling week of innovation, recognition, and industry impact for our team. From showing leading mapping and location technology solutions to connecting with our partner, Haptic, we demonstrated how real-time location intelligence is shaping the future of connectivity.
What our team showcased
At MWC 2025, we shared how Mapbox is driving innovation in the telco industry with location intelligence. From optimizing network planning to enabling next-generation connected experiences, our solutions help telcos like T-Mobile enhance coverage, efficiency, and customer satisfaction:
- Network planning: High-resolution location data and visualizations make it easier to identify coverage gaps, plan 5G rollouts, and optimize network performance.
- Movement data: Aggregated, privacy-first mobility insights help telcos understand population density, detect demand hotspots, and improve infrastructure planning.
- End-to-end field service management: Real-time mapping and geospatial tools streamline workforce dispatch, reduce service downtime, and improve operational efficiency.
- Connected auto: Our navigation solutions, including MapGPT, provide seamless, voice-enabled interactions that enhance in-car experiences while reducing driver distraction.
- IoT opportunities: Advanced geospatial intelligence supports IoT deployments, from smart city applications to asset tracking and fleet management.
Key takeaways from MWC 2025
We had an incredible time engaging with industry leaders about how location intelligence can drive innovation in network planning, operations, field management, and revenue-generating, value-added services.
From Network APIs and AI-powered Open RAN optimization to real-time network visualization and intelligent field service routing, our conversations reinforced the vital role of real-time location intelligence in the future of connectivity.
A huge thank you to all the Communication Service Providers (CSPs), partners, and innovators we met — we’re excited to continue building the next generation of smart, efficient, and customer-centric telecom solutions.
In addition, Mapbox partner Haptic was named a shortlist finalist in the prestigious Global Mobile (GLOMO) Awards. The HapticNav app was nominated in the “Tech4Good - Best Use of Mobile for Accessibility & Inclusion” category. While the team did not win the award, we’re proud of our partnership with Haptic and are excited to make big strides towards tactile navigation technology.
