Transatel provides data connectivity with multi-network SIM cards to all connected objects, from medical devices to Smart Meters through computers. Transatel’s connectivity offer allows service providers to bundle connectivity with their solutions. Our services include: - Private fixed IP address - VPN interconnect for the routing of the data traffic to the Service Provider - Data filtering (traffic is only allowed to the Service Provider domain) When it comes to “M2M SIM cards”, it is often difficult to know what it really refers to. Used in regular operation conditions, standard plastic SIM cards used in mobile phones can also be used for machine-to-machine (M2M) communications without any modification. Other SIM cards that are dedicated to M2M have to meet specific requirements that are not met by standard plastic SIM cards: - Extended temperature range (up to a -40°C/+105°C range), supported by - - Ruggedised (industrial-grade) plastic SIM cards; - Higher resistance against corrosion, vibration and shock thanks to soldered or - - Embedded SIM cards, used in the automotive industry for instance; - Longer life expenctancy (some SIM cards can support up to 500,000 write/erase cycles); - Longer data retention time (10+ years); - Surface mounting that prevents from thefts. Which types of SIM cards do Transatel’s solutions support? Transatel works with different SIM card manufacturers providing all SIM form factors: full-size SIM cards or 1st form factor (1FF), Mini SIM cards or 2nd form factor (2FF), Micro SIM cards or 3rd form factor (3FF) and Nano SIM cards or 4th form factor (4FF). Transatel works as well with M2M forms factors MFF1 and MFF2. Transatel’s M2M expertise also allows us to: - Provide SIM applets; - Create different SIM card electrical profiles; - Provide eUICC with our partners.

Whilst still in its infancy, the Internet of Things (IoT) is in part evolving by using Bluetooth Smart as an underpinning technology. Bluetooth Smart is rapidly being adopted for short-range wireless connectivity between compact, coin cell-powered accessories using RF sensors and smartphone ‘hubs’ supporting associated software applications. The ARM mbed initiative is a collaborative industry project that plans to nurture the IoT. The initiative delivers tools and fundamental open-source hardware and software building blocks for the rapid development of ARM-based devices. The collaboration between Nordic Semiconductor and ARM has resulted in Nordic’s nRF51822 System-on-Chip (SoC) which combines a Bluetooth v4.1-compliant 2.4GHz multiprotocol radio with an ARM Cortex-M0 CPU core on a single chip optimized for ultra-low power operation. The nRF51822 Series offers developers the ideal platform for designing the wirelessly-connected sensors that will help turn the IoT from a technological concept into reality as the mechanisms to transfer IP data from sensor nodes begin to appear.

Enabling customers to integrate and use state-of-the-art communication & Internet technologies in their Embedded Systems with the help of NetModule's field proven solutions and profound expertise. Customers benefit from a reduction of development risks and costs, being fast to the market and having more complete and competitive products.
