This acquisition marks an important milestone in Wireless Logic’s global expansion, reinforcing its position as a trusted partner for enterprises navigating local and cross-border IoT connectivity.

The company’s acquisition of Arqia was driven by its understanding of the rapidly growing LATAM market and its ability to connect millions of endpoints that will help to extend support for enterprises scaling their IoT deployments across the region.

Arqia, which is part of the Datora Group, specialises in M2M and IoT connectivity, offering secure connections that enable seamless communication between devices. With more than three million managed connections and a team of more than 200 employees, Arqia has established itself as a major player in the Brazilian market.

The acquisition will enhance Wireless Logic’s ability to deliver fast, reliable and compliant connectivity in the region. Arqia's MVNO licence, one of just 15 Authorised MVNO licences issued by ANATEL (the Brazilian National Telecommunications Agency), allows national mobile and IoT services via existing infrastructure, removing the need for new network builds.

“This is an important new chapter for Arqia and our customers,” said Tomas Fuchs, CEO at Arqia. “Joining the Wireless Logic Group marks an important and positive transition for Arqia, as we move forward independently from the Datora Group. Its global expertise and resources complement our experience and leadership in the region, creating a partnership that will bring added value to enterprises deploying connected devices.” 

Commenting on its decision to buy Arqia, Oliver Tucker, co-founder and CEO at Wireless Logic, said, “Arqia’s skilled team brings extensive expertise in the Latin American market, along with valuable insights and capabilities that perfectly align with our global growth vision. Together, we can extend our reach and deliver cutting-edge IoT connectivity solutions that enable enterprises to scale seamlessly and seize new opportunities in an increasingly connected world.”

This agreement is seen as strengthening Wireless Logic’s market position by driving global expansion, diversifying market channels, and enhancing its service portfolio.

The acquisition builds on the company’s recent additions of Webbing, Blue Wireless, and IoThink Solutions.
