We’re delighted to share that CSL, the leading global provider of Critical Connectivity®, has acquired SIMPL Wireless, the US-based IoT eSIM connectivity provider.
Based in Georgia, US, SIMPL Wireless is an eSIM-as-a-Service provider that has developed the EverSIM multi-carrier eSIM and Compass platform to make IoT connectivity simple and fast. Customers can be activated within hours using the hardware and carrier contracts they already have, and manage everything through a single dashboard and API across more than 100 mobile operators. SIMPL is built on GSMA SAS-certified infrastructure from Thales, works with partners including T-Mobile, and is a CSL Group company.
As IoT estates grow across borders, enterprises need the flexibility to use the best network wherever their devices operate, and to manage every SIM, contract and network from one place. The ability to choose and change carriers simply expands coverage, while unified management lowers cost, speeds deployment and keeps devices connected when a network goes down.
The acquisition, CSL’s second in 2026 following IoTM Solutions in July, strengthens CSL’s ability to help customers build resilient IoT estates on their own terms – with the carrier choice, uptime and operational control that life, mission and business-critical applications demand.
SIMPL’s offering to customers is fast activation and connectivity that allows customers to add or switch carrier profiles over the air whenever they choose. Compass, its single-pane-of-glass platform, gives customers one dashboard and one API to activate, monitor and manage SIMPL SIMs alongside third-party carrier SIMs, with real-time network visibility and automated self-healing. Combined with CSL’s patented rSIM® multi-network resilience and IoTM’s connectivity orchestration, SIMPL completes a single operating model for customers: choose any network, manage every SIM and eSIM, and stay online when a network fails.
Customers shouldn’t have to choose between flexibility and resilience. SIMPL gives them freedom over which networks they use; CSL makes sure those connections don’t go down. Bringing SIMPL into CSL Group gives us a home in North America and a platform that lets customers connect anywhere, on their terms, with the certainty critical applications require.”
SIMPL was built on three ideas: speed, simplicity and control. IoT connectivity should activate in hours, run on what customers already have, and stay theirs to control – it should just work. Joining CSL Group puts that on a platform engineered for uptime and backed by three decades of critical connectivity expertise. For our customers, nothing changes on day one except what we can now offer them.”
We’re delighted to welcome SIMPL to the CSL Group, bringing more flexibility and connectivity to customers, as well as supporting CSL to accelerate their growth in the US market. As resilience in connectivity becomes front of mind for enterprises, this acquisition represents an important milestone in the growth trajectory of the combined businesses.
