TRASNA Solutions is a global company specializing in semiconductor, SIM, eSIM, SoC, and iSIM for the Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile-connected devices.

History

TRASNA Solutions was founded in 2018 by Stéphane Fund after selling his previous company, Simulity Labs, to ARM Holdings in 2017. Fund created a company to address challenges in the IoT sector, such as high costs, slow implementations, and a fragmented vendor landscape faced by device makers and network operators.[1][2] In the same year, Trasna acquired Elatec (Germany)[3] and SAFE-IoT (France),[4]  providing the company with important hardware and software expertise. These acquisitions helped Trasna expand its offerings in secure microcontrollers, IoT technologies, and eSIM technologies.[5][6]

In 2023, TRASNA Solutions produced its first SIM chip and developed its own RISC-V core processor. The company also deployed over 40 secure microcontrollers for use in products like smart cards, point-of-sale terminals, smart meters, and security devices.[7]

In February 2024, TRASNA Solutions acquired Workz, a company specializing in cloud eSIM technology.[8][9][10] In December, the company acquired IoTerop, a company specializing in device management, to improve its IoT services.[11][12]

Overview

TRASNA Solutions develops System-onChip products, embedded modules, SIM cards, cloud SIM platforma and an IoT eSIM remote manager.[13] In 2023, the company began developing its System on Chip (SoC) with an integrated iSIM module, which is expected to influence the IoT market.[14][15]
