Company Description
Transatel is an established European player in the mobile services industry. Today, 160 telecoms and IT experts based in 5 European offices and 1 office in the United States work together to produce profitable revenue in fields ranging from mobile telephony to Internet of Things. 70% of the activity is generated outside of France, and 19 nationalities compose the Transatel talents. Passionate about innovation, the teams are currently launching their most ground-breaking project yet, a multi-country embedded connectivity solution for tablets and laptops based on the 901 concept, a non-geographic Mobile Network Code (MNC) enabling 3G/LTE multi-local connectivity. Transatel provides the entire range of services, as well as the technical infrastructure associated with mobile connectivity. Addressing BtoB and BtoC markets, Transatel develops activities either as an operator (MVNO- Mobile Virtual Operator) or as a third party (MVNO enabler – MVNE; aggregator – MVNA; Machine to Machine – M2M enabler). Its technical platform is connected to the 7 leading European operators, supports over 80 MVNOs, and provides connectivity to more than 1.6 million SIM cards worldwide, across all of its businesses.
Nordic Semiconductor is a fabless semiconductor company specializing in ultra low power (ULP) short-range wireless communication. The company’s range of 2.4GHz transceiver and transmitter devices are employed by some of the world’s leading brands in a wide variety of applications like wireless keyboard and mouse, game Controllers, and intelligent sports equipment. Nordic is a member of the ANT+ Alliance and has successfully collaborated with ANT Wireless of Cochrane, Canada, since 2005. ANT devices– using Nordic 2.4GHz transceivers and the proven ANT protocol – have been used in millions of wireless sensor nodes across the world. ANT is perfectly suited for any kind of low data rate sensor network topologies in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and practical Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Nordic’s products are all manufactured in state of the art semiconductor process technologies through strong, long-term relationships with world-best manufacturing facilities. Nordic is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. All operations are managed according to the ISO 9001:2000-approved quality Assurance system.
Lantronix, Inc. is a global leader of secure communication technologies that simplify remote access, management and control of any electronic device. Their solutions empower businesses to make better decisions based on real-time information, and gain a competitive advantage by generating new revenue streams, improving productivity and increasing efficiency and profitability.
Asavie makes connectivity simple. Our mobility management and Internet of Things solutions manage, scale and secure connectivity across diverse networks. The award-winning, Asavie PassBridge connectivity management platform, enables mobile operators, OEM vendors and managed service providers to rapidly launch, scale and secure mobility and IoT smart, connected projects. Asavie partners with over 20 operators including leaders like AT&T, Telenor, Telefonica O2, Three and Vodafone and 20,000+ end-user customers in the USA and EMEA. Asavie is led by a highly experienced team, including veterans from AEP, Baltimore, Google, Openet & Vordel. Year founded: 2004
NetModule is a leading manufacturer of communications products for M2M and IoT. Highlight products categories include solutions for transportation, public transport, and Industry 4.0. The devices are certified and include latest technologies (WLAN, LTE) and various interfaces for applications needing robust communication, i.e. PWLAN, information systems, driver communication, remote maintenance, condition monitoring and data exchange in real-time. Founded in 1998 NetModule is a Swiss based company with headquarter in Berne (Niederwangen) and offices in Zurich (Winterthur) and Basel, and subsidiaries in Frankfurt and Hong Kong.
IoT Solutions
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.
