Aeris passes 100M managed IoT devices after Ericsson buy
IoT connectivity provider Aeris now manages more than 100 million cellular IoT devices, a scale it credits largely to buying Ericsson’s IoT Accelerator platform in 2023. The deal lifted Aeris’ device connections by 90 per cent, a gain the company says is around three times higher than the sector average, citing Berg Insight data.
Aeris frames the milestone as proof of its push into AI-driven connectivity management, IoT security and automotive services. CEO Aziz Benmalek said the company uses “agentic AI” to boost reliability and security for hardware ranging from connected cars to medical devices. Aeris lists major enterprises, mobile network operators and equipment makers among its customers, highlighting Telenor Connexion, Orange Business Belgium and Swisscom. The disclosure comes a day after Netmore’s acquisition of Actility, which took that rival’s IoT base past 14 million units.
