**CSL Group Acquires IoTM Solutions to Build Global Platform for Resilient, Multi‑Carrier IoT Connectivity**
CSL Group, a global provider of critical connectivity, has acquired IoTM Solutions to create a unified platform for resilient, multi‑carrier IoT connectivity management and eSIM orchestration. The move is designed to accelerate global IoT deployments and support the next generation of connected devices.
As IoT deployments scale worldwide, enterprises, service providers, and mobile operators often must manage SIMs, eSIM profiles, and carrier integrations across fragmented portals, Connectivity Management Platforms (CMPs), and network platforms. This fragmentation increases operational complexity, slows carrier onboarding, and makes it harder to adapt to regulatory changes, permanent roaming restrictions, and in‑life service issues.
The acquisition strengthens CSL’s ability to help customers build resilient global IoT estates that can adapt to network outages, changing regulations, and transition smoothly to SGP.32—the GSMA’s next‑generation eSIM standard for IoT.
**Resilient IoT Operations for Global Connectivity**
Founded in 2015, IoTM Solutions has developed a cloud‑native platform that consolidates fragmented carrier systems, CMPs, and eSIM workflows into a single managed service. It provides a unified “pane of glass” view and is vendor agnostic, supporting both legacy estates and new deployments regardless of vendor. Customers can manage SIM lifecycle, eSIM profile management, usage reporting, support workflows, and API access through one operating model across multiple operators and platforms. This low‑touch, friction‑free approach allows customers to provision their entire SIM estate in hours rather than days.
Already managing more than 30 million SIMs—with the capacity to onboard over a billion—the platform supports 20+ native CMP, API, and carrier platform integrations and has access to more than 100 mobile operators. This gives CSL immediate global scale, deep carrier integration, and proven operational capability across its Critical Connectivity and rSIM services, offering customers greater optionality and value.
Combined with rSIM’s SIM‑level resilience and CSL’s managed IoT services, IoTM Solutions expands CSL’s resilient connectivity offering beyond network failover. Customers can manage outages, local carrier requirements, permanent roaming restrictions, and changing market conditions through a single platform.
Dan Amir, CEO and co‑founder of IoTM Solutions, said: “IoTM was created to remove the complexity of managing IoT connectivity across multiple operators, platforms, and countries. Joining CSL Group allows us to bring that capability to a larger global customer base, supported by CSL’s managed connectivity services and rSIM resilience. Together, we can help customers and mobile operators simplify SIM and eSIM operations and prepare for the next generation of global IoT.”
The IoTM team will join CSL, and the platform will continue to support existing customers, operators, and service provider partners.
**Expanding CSL’s Capabilities**
CSL already delivers managed IoT connectivity and patented rSIM resilience for life‑critical and business‑critical applications. By adding IoTM, CSL extends its role beyond connectivity, giving customers a single resilient operating model for managing SIMs, eSIMs, carriers, and platforms throughout the device lifecycle.
Together, CSL and IoTM Solutions enable customers to deploy globally, adapt to local carrier and regulatory requirements, automate SIM lifecycle management, and strengthen operational resilience as IoT estates grow. This creates a foundation for large‑scale SGP.32 adoption while reducing operational complexity for enterprises, service providers, and mobile operators.
**Preparing Customers for the Next Generation of eSIM**
The transition to SGP.32 represents one of the most significant changes in IoT connectivity management since the introduction of eSIM. As enterprises expand globally and permanent roaming restrictions evolve, organizations need greater automation, orchestration, and operational control over their SIM and eSIM estates.
By combining IoTM Solutions’ connectivity management platform with CSL’s managed IoT services and patented rSIM resilience, CSL is building the operational foundation for today’s global IoT deployments and tomorrow’s SGP.32 ecosystem.
“SGP.32 marks the biggest change in IoT connectivity management since the introduction of eSIM,” said Ed Heale, CEO of CSL Group. “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.”
