As IoT deployments scale globally, enterprises, service providers and mobile operators are often required to manage SIMs, ESIM profiles and carrier integrations across separate portals, Connectivity Management Platforms (CMPs) and network platforms. This fragmentation adds operational complexity, slows carrier onboarding and makes it harder to adapt to changing regulation, 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 regulation and transition smoothly to SGP.32 – the GSMA’s next-generation ESIM standard for IoT.

Founded in 2015, IoTM Solutions has developed a cloud-native platform that brings fragmented carrier systems, CMPs and ESIM workflows into one managed service, providing a single pane of glass view. The platform is vendor agnostic, taking on legacy estates or new deployments regardless of vendor, so customers manage SIM lifecycle, ESIM profile management, usage reporting, support workflows and API access through a unified operating model across multiple operators and platforms. This low-touch, friction-free approach means customers can provision their entire SIM estate seamlessly in hours, not days.

Dan Amir, CEO & 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.

Ed Heale, CEO of CSL Group, commented: “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.”
