Aeris, Verizon Business Link Global IoT Operations

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 25 (Bernama) -- Aeris, a global leader in wireless management platforms, security services and connected vehicle programmes, has formed an inbound Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity management partnership with Verizon Business to help multinational enterprises manage and scale international IoT deployments.

The collaboration introduces Aeris IoTA Inbound Services, integrating the Aeris IoTA Connectivity Management Platform with Verizon ThingSpace environment to simplify multi-region operations and extend existing outbound connectivity capabilities into the United States (US) market for global device fleets.

In a statement, Aeris said the integration addresses a key barrier for international IoT deployments in the US by eliminating fragmented platforms and complex domestic connectivity stacks, enabling unified SIM management, consistent commercial terms and centralised operational control.

“Global enterprises require a shift away from managing multiple connectivity contracts and disparate platforms,” said Aeris Chief Commercial Officer of IoT business unit, Mark Cratsenburg.

He said the integration enables global partners to expand customer solutions into the US market more quickly while maintaining a seamless experience for Verizon customers deploying devices abroad.

Meanwhile, Verizon Business Vice President of Strategic Connectivity and IoT, Shamik Basu said: “Our collaboration with Aeris enables global customers to access our connectivity and platforms in the US market.”

The integrated solution leverages the SGP.32 eSIM standard to support remote provisioning and centralised device management and is designed to support 5G use cases such as automotive, industrial automation and smart city applications.

The platform is structured to accelerate time-to-market for multinational enterprises, streamline operational processes through a unified interface for provisioning, billing and analytics, and extend security via Aeris IoT Watchtower for real-time monitoring and zero-trust control. Its 5G-enabled infrastructure also provides the scalability and responsiveness needed for high-density, mission-critical IoT deployments.

According to IDC, global enterprises continue to view IoT as a critical pillar of digital transformation, although deployment complexity remains a major challenge. IDC estimates that global investment in the IoT ecosystem will exceed US$1 trillion in 2026, as industries such as manufacturing, utilities and retail accelerate digital transformation spending.
