What ARQIA Datora does
ARQIA Datora is a Brazilian IoT and M2M connectivity platform and MVNO enabler, founded in 2011 as the mobile services unit of Grupo Datora and acquired in 2025 by UK-based Wireless Logic Group. The company provides multi-operator cellular SIM cards supporting 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks — with three-operator configurations achieving up to 96.9% national coverage — alongside a Connectivity Management Platform with API integration, the Movit fleet management platform, an A2P SMS platform, corporate broadband, satellite connectivity via Starlink, and an MVNO accreditation program serving 28+ resellers. Its product portfolio extends to hardware including vehicle trackers, POS payment terminals (Gertec, Newland), and ADAS/DMS-enabled dash cams, plus Private 4G/LTE network solutions for dedicated enterprise infrastructure.
ARQIA serves enterprise customers across six primary verticals: logistics, retail, security, agribusiness, Industry 4.0, and smart cities. Named customers include BMW Brasil (connected car), Ituran (vehicle tracking), and Verisure (security solutions), with a high-visibility deployment of 13,000+ urban security cameras through a partnership with Gabriel. The company reports over 3 million connected devices on its platform, with 2+ million eSIMs deployed remotely via OTA. Go-to-market is sales-led and multi-channel, combining direct enterprise field sales with dedicated account managers, a self-service Arqia Marketplace, a Brazilian MVNO partner network, and global distribution through the Wireless Logic Group (50+ mobile network partners, 165 countries, 18M+ devices managed).
The business model is predominantly subscription-based recurring revenue from IoT/M2M connectivity plans (data allowances from 1MB to 30GB, contracts of 24-36 months), supplemented by transactional A2P SMS fees (R$0.045-R$0.13 per unit), hardware sales and rentals, MVNO accreditation partner fees, and increasingly satellite and private network services. The 2025 acquisition by Wireless Logic provides global reach and capital but no acquisition amount has been disclosed.
