Connectivity Anytime, Anywhere, on any Device: Transatel Opens new Opportunities for Consumer Electronic Brands on the Burgeoning Embedded Connectivity Market

PARIS, October 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

    Apple's quiet release of its Apple SIM has recently disrupted the embedded
connectivity market. This technology allows users to switch mobile carriers without
changing their SIM card and paves the way for a future where device manufacturers will be
connectivity resellers and providers.

    Transatel anticipated this market trend long ago and developed SIM 901, which offers
device manufacturers an end-to-end embedded connectivity solution. This technology based
on the multi-local 901 mobile network code allows device manufacturers to deliver global
3G/LTE services to their end-users with one unique SIM card.

    With 30 billion connected devices expected by 2020, the forecasted growth in
Connectivity and the Internet of Things markets clearly ensures a bright future for this
innovative connectivity solution.

    Cost-effective and flexible embedded connectivity solution for device manufacturers:

    A global SIM ready to go: SIM 901 provides local plug-and-play 3G/LTE connectivity in
multiple countries thanks to Transatel's agreements with mobile operators worldwide.
Transatel ensures excellent global coverage and negotiates local rates around the world
for the benefit of businesses and end-users.

    Transatel provides device manufacturers with a single interface to deliver simplified
and cost-efficient services. Transatel's mutualized infrastructure ensures the lowest
operational costs to manage device connectivity and subscriptions for end-users. Transatel
901 SIM also provides additional features to consumer devices allowing manufacturers to
deploy cloud services.

    Transatel SIM 901 solution can be deployed under different business models: from a
white label turnkey solution operated by Transatel, to the classical Enabler or Aggregator
models providing all the technical tools to enable device manufacturers to manage their
data offers and services on their own.

    Jacques Bonifay said: "We are proud to have developed the ultimate embedded
connectivity solution for this burgeoning market. SIM 901 provides global, reliable, and
secure connectivity to consumers' laptops, tablets, and even cars. Our model can go a step
further than the Apple SIM, as not only does SIM 901 allow device manufacturers to sell
their own connectivity services, but it does so globally and at local rates."
