Wireless Logic, the leading global IoT connectivity provider has acquired Webbing, a global Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) providing connectivity for Enterprise Mobility and IoT applications.

Founded in 2010, Webbing provides a leading-edge connectivity service for global customers across sectors including Enterprise Mobility, Automotive and Logistics. It offers a global carrier network that delivers best in class coverage, policy control and enforcement, including compliance with any permanent roaming restrictions, as well as security and other features, all through a single global SIM.

Webbing are market leaders in eSIM technology and have pioneered the shift towards the new GSMA eSIM standards for IoT (SGP.32). Its WebbingCTRL solution leverages SM-DP+ provisioning and enables remote, automatic profile swaps without user intervention. Its fallback module is fully automatic with no MNO actions required ensuring continuous connectivity– a common challenge facing IoT deployments. It also provides centralised management of eSIMs and profiles, simplifying IoT connectivity, reducing costs, and improving time to market. This allows enterprises to leverage connected devices while maintaining full control of their connectivity deployments.

“Webbing exhibited remarkable foresight by recognising the constraints of existing eSIM standards for IoT devices and anticipating enterprise demand for efficient eSIM provisioning solutions,” said Oliver Tucker, CEO of Wireless Logic. “As well as complementing the market segments that Wireless Logic addresses, this acquisition will expand our technology capabilities and offering, particularly as the new GSMA IoT eSIM standard gains prominence. Furthermore, Webbing’s local presence and partnerships in regions including the US and Asia, will further enhance our ability to deliver a future proof, flexible and fully redundant global connectivity through a single SIM.”
