Aeris, a global leader in secure cellular IoT platforms and solutions, launched an expansion of IoT Accelerator, the company’s IoT connectivity management platform as a service (PaaS). The move enables Aeris and its mobile carrier partners to deliver a single-SKU eSIM to OEM and enterprise customers, providing a single-pane of glass in a global unified manner. This expansion sets Aeris apart from competitive offerings that require multiple layers of aggregators or the need for investment in aggregator platforms that can lead to “margin stacking” in a price sensitive market. Aeris acquired the IoT Accelerator in early 2023 from Ericsson. The PaaS received over $2 billion in investment. The scale of this investment means automotive, utility, fleet and connected device industry partners can use the expanded IoT Accelerator to fulfill the promise of IoT and the opportunities offered with eSIMs. Aeris’ partners can build and deploy connected solutions without complex service management restraints
