Zipit Wireless

What Zipit Wireless does

Zipit Wireless, Inc., founded in 2007 and headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, operates a multi-carrier cellular IoT connectivity management platform serving enterprise OEMs and IoT solution providers globally. The company's core technology operates as an authorized MVNO of tier-1 carriers, providing unified oversight of SIMs and devices across multiple carrier networks through a single-pane-of-glass connectivity management platform with API-first architecture, eSIM support, and integration via SSO, OAUTH, and SAML authentication. Its three-pillar product portfolio consists of Zipit Connectivity Services (multi-carrier cellular data plans including 5G, LTE-M, and NB-IoT), the Connectivity Management Platform (device lifecycle management, provisioning, monitoring, over-the-air updates), and Billing Solutions (turnkey subscription billing, invoicing, white-label portals, and merchant-of-record services handling taxation and payment compliance).

The business model combines multiple recurring and usage-based revenue streams: connectivity subscriptions, platform/SaaS fees, usage-based data charges, managed services, and white-label/B2B2C licensing arrangements. Go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise sales with a consultative motion, supplemented by an API/self-serve channel for mid-market customers and a dealer/reseller partner network. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with contracts structured around device volume, data requirements, geographic coverage, and feature needs. Customer segments span agriculture and AgTech, consumer electronics and wearables, industrial and utilities, point-of-sale and retail payments (30+ customers cited), digital signage and media, transportation and logistics, and security and surveillance, with named logos including Samsung, Thermo Fisher, Bushnell, Hunter Industries, BrightSign, Xplora, and Mood Media.

In August 2025, Zipit was acquired by Wireless Logic (a UK-based global IoT solutions provider), marking Wireless Logic's first US-headquartered acquisition and giving Zipit expanded global scale and carrier reach. Zipit continues to operate as a brand under the Wireless Logic Group and announced a strategic partnership with Smartcom at MWC26 in March 2026 to serve as Smartcom's global connectivity partner for connected consumer devices. The company holds 8 granted US patents plus international coverage in Europe, Australia, and Japan, and operates with 11-50 employees.
