Bringing a customer base of over one million subscriptions, complementary services and alternative routes to market, the acquisition of Arkessa will drive incremental business growth for the Wireless Logic group. The Arkessa team also brings eUICC solutions that strongly complement Wireless Logic’s current capabilities – further emphasising the group’s solutions for the global market.
In the coming months, the Wireless Logic and Arkessa management teams will work closely to ensure the continued delivery of high quality service for customers, while also starting to leverage the benefits of increased reach, scale and capability.
