What Actility does
Actility is a Paris-headquartered IoT connectivity platform provider founded in 2010, specializing in low-power wide-area networking (LPWAN) with a primary focus on LoRaWAN technology. The company is a co-inventor of LoRaWAN and a founding member of the LoRa Alliance, giving it standards-level authority in the LPWAN ecosystem. Its core product, the ThingPark platform, delivers multi-technology mediation capabilities that integrate and orchestrate LoRaWAN and other LPWAN protocols, device fleets, and operator networks across more than 100 countries. Through its Abeeway subsidiary, Actility also offers ultra-low-power geolocation technology for asset-tracking use cases.
Actility's commercial focus is on enterprise and industrial IoT deployments for utilities, smart buildings, smart cities, and large industrial customers, served through direct enterprise sales and a channel network of more than 50 LoRaWAN network operators globally. The revenue model combines recurring subscription/connectivity platform services with managed services for large-scale deployments. Key reference customers include Orange — described as the largest ThingPark user and a decade-long strategic partner — alongside tier-1 telecom operators and global utility and manufacturing leaders.
Following the December 2023 divestiture of its energy flexibility business to Veolia and a €16 million funding round from existing investors, Actility was acquired by Swedish Massive IoT operator Netmore Group in January 2026. Post-acquisition, the combined entity claims the world's largest LoRaWAN network with over 14 million contracted IoT devices, supported by Netmore's Pulse Partner Program ecosystem of 200+ partners. In its most recent phase, Actility has expanded geographically into Central Asia (a smart-city rollout across 18 cities in Kazakhstan with Astel) and vertically into construction (partnership with Kwant.ai), indicating a broadening of both footprint and addressable verticals beyond its utility and telecom base.
