Vodafone selects CSL to be UK National Lottery project partner

The new ten-year licence has been awarded to Allwyn UK and will become effective from February 2024. The initial 12-month period is going to witness CSL deploying both fixed and mobile-managed IoT connectivity services.

The company will be using Vodafone’s core network infrastructure to provide retailers with the solutions they need in order to grow their own businesses and, in tandem, support Allwyn UK in reinvigorating the UK National Lottery such that it can continue to raise funds for worthy causes.

CSL manages close to three million IoT endpoints for business and mission-critical applications across Europe and harbours over 25 years’ experience gained from providing reliable and secure connectivity solutions. The company’s dedicated project team will work alongside Vodafone throughout the planning, delivery and in-life phases for the full term of this nationwide project.

Kathryn Platt, head of indirect business at Vodafone, explained: “We are delighted to work alongside our specialist critical connectivity partner, CSL, to deliver managed IoT services as part of the upgrade to the National Lottery’s infrastructure. CSL’s proven IoT expertise and delivery capability, powered by Vodafone’s industry-leading IoT connectivity, will be essential in delivering the National Lottery project and helping to support retailers with the tools they need to grow their businesses.”

Ed Heale, CEO at CSL, responded: “This announcement further demonstrates CSL’s fast-growing position as a leading provider of managed IoT services and reinforces the company’s strong partnership with Vodafone. Together, we are now the ‘go-to’ providers for business and mission-critical connectivity projects.”
