Transatel, a leading MVNE/MVNA and M2M enabler in Europe has deployed Affirmed Network’s Network Function Virtualization(NFV)-based Mobile Content Cloud to expand its offering in North America. Transatel has launched more than 120 MVNOs across Europe and manages over 1.7 million SIM cards.
The solution underlies Transatel’s upcoming commercial launch of their embedded connectivity service for laptops and tablets in the United States. Affirmed Networks’ Mobile Content Cloud solution is located within Transatel’s Point-Of-Presence in New York City, one of the most important internet hubs in the world.
Transatel has been a customer of Affirmed Networks since July 2014, when they first deployed the virtual Evolved Packet Core (vEPC) to deliver services to European Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) customers.
Jacques Bonifay, CEO of Transatel
Expanding Transatel’s worldwide infrastructure serves the global vision of the SIM 901 solution. Our ambition is to become the leading embedded connectivity platform for tablets and laptops.
Hassan Ahmed, Chairman and CEO of Affirmed Networks
Transatel’s ability to expand into the US is due to their understanding and belief in the transformational benefits of NFV as a new architecture.
