We’re delighted to share that CSL, the leading global provider of Critical Connectivity®, has acquired IoTM Solutions, creating a global platform for resilient, multi-carrier IoT connectivity management and eSIM orchestration.
Founded in 2015, IoTM Solutions has developed a cloud-native platform that brings fragmented carrier systems, connectivity management platforms and eSIM workflows into a single managed service. The platform already manages more than 30 million SIMs, supports over 20 native CMP, API and carrier platform integrations, and provides access to more than 100 mobile operators.
As IoT deployments scale globally, enterprises and operators are often forced to manage SIMs, eSIM profiles and carrier integrations across multiple separate systems, adding operational complexity and slowing carrier onboarding. The acquisition strengthens CSL’s ability to help customers build resilient global IoT estates and prepares them for the transition to SGP.32, the GSMA’s next-generation eSIM standard for IoT, one of the most significant changes in how connected devices are provisioned and managed.
The IoTM team will join CSL, and the acquisition marks a further step in CSL’s buy-and-build strategy, which ECI has supported since first investing in 2020, extending the company’s capabilities beyond connectivity into a single resilient operating model for managing SIMs, eSIMs, carriers and platforms across the device lifecycle.
SGP.32 marks the biggest change in IoT connectivity management since the introduction of eSIM. Customers won’t simply need a new standard; they’ll need a new operating model. Bringing IoTM Solutions into CSL Group allows us to deliver that; combining IoT connectivity management, eSIM orchestration and resilient connectivity into a single service that prepares customers for the next generation of global IoT.”
