Actility ThingPark: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

ThingPark is Actility's IoT connectivity platform for building and running low-power wide-area networks. It supports LoRaWAN, cellular IoT (LTE-M and NB-IoT) and satellite networks, and is hardware-agnostic. Telecom operators use ThingPark Wireless for public networks, organisations run ThingPark Enterprise for their own private LoRaWAN network, and ThingPark All-In-One embeds a network server in a gateway for small sites. Additional services include device activation, firmware updates over the air, data mediation and location.

Actility is based in Paris. In January 2026 it was acquired by Netmore Group, an IoT operator backed by the Nordic infrastructure investor Polar Structure. ThingPark Enterprise is offered as a managed SaaS service that Actility hosts in regional data centres in Europe, the USA and Australia, or as software you host yourself, on-premises or with a cloud provider. For a European organisation, self-hosting keeps the network server and device data under its own control, while with the SaaS option you should deliberately select the European region.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Actility ThingPark

Actility ThingPark is headquartered in FR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data. The ultimate owner is based in SE, also within Europe.

Actility ThingPark hosts data in EU, US, OTHER. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

Actility ThingPark is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Actility ThingPark together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
