UK connectivity firm CSL has acquired Israeli company IoTM Solutions to create a global platform for resilient, multi-carrier IoT connectivity management and eSIM orchestration.

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 networks. 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 users build resilient global IoT estates that can adapt to network outages, changing regulation and transition smoothly to SGP.32, the GSMA’s eSIM standard for IoT.

Founded in 2015, IoTM 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.

“IoTM was created to remove the complexity of managing IoT connectivity across multiple operators, platforms and countries,” said Dan Amir, CEO of IoTM (iotm.mobi). “Joining CSL 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 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 users can provision their entire SIM estate seamlessly in hours, not days.

Already managing more than 30 million SIMs, with the ability to onboard over a billion, the platform supports 20+ native CMP, API and carrier platform integrations, with 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, providing more optionality and value.

Combined with rSIM’s SIM-level resilience and CSL’s managed IoT services, IoTM expands CSL’s resilient connectivity offering beyond network failover. Users can manage outages, local carrier requirements, permanent roaming restrictions and changing market conditions through a single platform.

The IoTM team will join CSL, and the platform will continue to support existing customers, operators and service provider partners.

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, providing a single resilient operating model for managing SIMs, eSIMs, carriers and platforms throughout the device lifecycle.

Together, CSL and IoTM can help users 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.

The transition to SGP.32 represents one of the most significant changes in how connected devices are provisioned, managed and supported throughout their lifecycle. As enterprises expand globally and permanent roaming restrictions continue to evolve, organisations need greater automation, orchestration and operational control over their SIM and eSIM estates.

By combining IoTM’s connectivity management platform with CSL’s managed IoT services and patented rSIM resilience, CSL hopes to create 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 (csl-group.com). “Customers won’t simply need a new standard; they’ll need a new operating model. Bringing IoTM into CSL 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.”
