by Webbing Team
In the 15 years since Webbing was founded, the landscape of cellular connectivity has evolved significantly. However, our commitment to leading the evolution of sustainable global data connectivity through innovative, high-quality, and scalable technology has remained unchanged. We are continuously redefining global connectivity, pushing industry boundaries to shift the power from the telecom industry to device owners where it should be.
To highlight our journey, here are 10 key facts about our solutions, technologies, projects, and customers that best reflect our growth and achievements.

Webbing provides multi-carrier connectivity worldwide
Cellular networks are one of the most effective ways to achieve global connectivity, offering wide coverage, seamless interoperability, scalability, reliability, and security for both enterprise mobility and IoT deployments. However, managing contracts with multiple carriers across regions can be complex and time-consuming.
We offer global cellular connectivity services that ensure access to reliable and high-quality internet worldwide without the hassle of contracting multiple operators. Webbing provides a secure and continuous internet connection, delivering a streamlined, centralized, and scalable means of deploying, controlling and monitoring all kinds of devices at any location with a single SIM.
Webbing has built a global partner network that spans over 600 carriers across more than 190 countries and territories. It guarantees worldwide coverage and allows to roam on several carriers’ networks in every region, solving the problem of weak spots that any mobile network may have and ensuring full coverage and continuous connectivity even at remote locations.

More than 1 million Webbing eSIMs have been deployed globally
While eSIM technology has made significant advancements and offered significant benefits to IoT, two initial GSMA remote SIM provisioning standards – M2M and Consumer – were not ideal for IoT adoption. Later, this prompted the GSMA to develop the new SGP.32 IoT Provisioning Standard.
However, when the first Consumer remote provisioning specifications were published, Webbing recognized its advantages over the M2M standard and began working on a solution tailored to IoT. In April 2022, Webbing launched WebbingCTRL, a pre-standard eSIM remote provisioning solution that adapted the Consumer architecture for IoT devices without user interfaces. Since then, over 1 million WebbingCTRL SIMs have been deployed all over the world.
WebbingCTRL enables organizations to remotely add, remove, and swap operators for any number of IoT deployments without operator integration or collaboration. It also provides a centralized way to manage eSIMs and profile inventory, as well as visibility into device data usage. Companies can set up business rules that would allow devices to change the serving Operator automatically under specific conditions, such as location, country, loss of connectivity or even after a certain amount of time.
WebbingCTRL is fully aligned with the GSMA SGP.32 specification and supports the new IoT standard.

Webbing was the first to offer a connectivity solution for full data localization in Turkey
Most countries in the world have regulations on connectivity, data sovereignty, and data protection. These legislation acts directly impact IoT deployments, and depending on the use cases and the markets that certain devices are deployed to, there can be dozens of regulations to comply with, from bans on permanent roaming to industry-specific ones, like eCall. It can be especially critical in countries with stricter regulations, such as Turkey.
As a full MVNO that owns its distributed core network, Webbing can help to comply with all kinds of regulatory requirements, be it preventing traffic from leaving the country borders, using local IMSI or full localization. Technology and infrastructure-wise, Webbing is capable of forming any architecture required by local legislation. In collaboration with Protahub, Webbing managed to seamlessly localize IoT deployments in Turkey, overcoming connectivity restrictions. We were the first connectivity provider to achieve this milestone.

Webbing’s robust management platform is developed with customers’ needs in mind
Our connectivity management platform allows customers to configure and control data connectivity for their global fleet of devices. With over 15 years of in-house development and real-world use, it offers robust features for monitoring, optimizing data usage, managing support cases, accessing analytics, and more.
Unlike many “one-size-fits-all” solutions, our platform was built with a customer-first mindset — every feature is purposefully designed to address real-world use cases and specific operational needs. Because we fully own and operate the platform, we have the agility to continuously enhance it with custom features tailored to our customers’ evolving requirements.

Webbing’s core network has data centers on every continent
Many critical connectivity features depend on the core network — its architecture, components, technologies, and the network solutions in use. It affects latency, bandwidth, scalability, and ultimately determines how future-proof your IoT deployments are. However, ensuring that your connectivity provider owns critical infrastructure and supports your current usage scenarios may not be enough. The network may also require constant upgrades to keep pace with increasing data traffic, evolving regulations, security demands, and the need for cost-efficiency and scalability.
Webbing is a full MVNO that owns all core network elements. We have built a fully redundant distributed core network infrastructure with data centers all over the world. It is critically important, for example, for latency, since whenever a roaming IoT device sends data using a cellular connection, the data travels all the way to the connectivity provider’s data center before going to its destination. Last year, we added three data centers in UAE, Japan and Australia, which helped us improve latency and bandwidth in relevant regions. We also increased the capacity of our data centers in the United States and Netherlands, expanded our connectivity services to include voice communications, and improved our network resiliency and uptime. This year, we plan to open two more data centers in strategic locations.

For Webbing, providing IoT connectivity is not just selling SIM cards
Every IoT project that relies on cellular connectivity, regardless of locations or device type used, should begin with a comprehensive onboarding process from a trusted connectivity provider.
At Webbing, onboarding means more than activating SIMs. We build a dedicated team to deeply understand each customer’s unique use case. The process begins with device testing, KPI alignment, and seamless remote or on-site onboarding to ensure full integration. From there, we tailor connectivity solutions—including custom data plans and device management via our platform—to fit specific needs.
Our Customer Success Managers provide ongoing, hands-on support, enabling smooth scaling and real-time adaptation as requirements evolve. This personalized approach ensures not just a successful deployment, but a long-term partnership focused on both technical and business outcomes.
We believe IoT connectivity is not about selling SIM cards — it’s about building lasting relationships. The success of any IoT deployment depends on our ability to understand, adapt, and support from day one. Onboarding is the first and most critical step in ensuring everything works as intended, optimizing the total cost of operations, and maintaining long-term operational efficiency.
