# Able Device, Inc.

> Able Device is a Raleigh software company that turns the SIM or eSIM already inside a connected product into a programmable control point. Its patented SIMbae applet can observe network conditions, run deterministic rules, switch between public and private networks, support diagnostics, protect credentials, and accept over-the-air updates without depending on a device app or cloud round trip. The pitch is deliberately practical: use existing secure hardware, shorten custom Java Card work, and give enterprises and connectivity providers more control over distributed IoT fleets.

- **Founded:** 2010
- **Headquarters:** Raleigh, United States
- **Founders:** Roger Dewey (CEO and Founder), Leigh Ann Ryals (COO and Co-Founder)
- **Team size:** 9 employees in the supplied record and nine discoverable employees on LinkedIn; GrepBeat reported eight employees in February 2023
- **Products:** SIMbae, SIMbae Credential Exchange Manager (S-CEM), SIMbae 3.0, Context-aware orchestration, Deterministic AI policy execution
- **Notable:** Graduated from The Startup Factory accelerator in 2012., Launched SIMbae commercially for mobile network operators in 2016., Demonstrated SIM-based application hosting in GSMA Innovation City at Mobile World Congress Americas in 2017.

## Products & services

- **SIMbae** — A patented Java Card SIM applet and application engine that runs configurable event-to-action logic on standard SIMs, eSIMs, eUICCs, and related secure elements.
- **SIMbae Credential Exchange Manager (S-CEM)** — A SIM-based credential exchange and secure-service approach highlighted in a GSMA case study.
- **SIMbae 3.0** — A standards-based state-machine architecture with no-code scripts, predefined templates, vendor independence, diagnostics, security, and network-management functions.
- **Context-aware orchestration** — Current SIMbae capabilities that use cellular, Wi-Fi, positioning, proximity, and other contextual inputs to enforce connectivity policy at the identity layer.
- **Deterministic AI policy execution** — A 2026 evolution that lets SIMbae execute policies generated by analytics or AI while still operating independently with predefined deterministic logic.
- **Implementation and consulting** — Technical workshops, test-lab work, applet customization, integration, white-label options, proof-of-concept support, and over-the-air deployment planning.
