Building a more intelligent, connected world
Understanding the challenges faced by device makers and network operators, including heavy expenses, slow implementations, and a fragmented vendor landscape – Stéphane saw an opportunity to build the foundation for an alternative future for the Internet of Things. So, in 2018, he established Trasna, born from a vision to harness the power of semiconductor and mobile technologies to shape the future of IoT.
Quickly, the foundations began to be laid with Trasna strategically acquiring Elatec (Germany) and SAFE-IoT (France), gaining crucial expertise in hardware and software and uniting some of the industry's brightest minds.
In 2023, Trasna achieved a significant milestone with the launch of its first SIM chip. That same year, it introduced its proprietary RISC-V core processor, reflecting its unwavering commitment to driving in-house innovation. The journey gained momentum in 2024 with the acquisitions of Workz, the global leader in cloud eSIM, and IoTerop, a pioneer in device management. These additions significantly strengthened Trasna’s full-stack solution, propelling Trasna closer to its vision of full vertical integration – chip to cloud.
Meanwhile, to support its expanding ambitions, Trasna opened a semiconductor-focused R&D and manufacturing facility in Kerala, India. This new hub enables the company to strengthen its drive for innovation and support faster time-to-market across its growing portfolio.
Then, in early 2025, Trasna acquired u-blox’s cellular module business, bringing advanced cellular module technology, key intellectual property, and an R&D team. This further expanded Trasna’s product portfolio into LTE-M, NB-IoT and Cat 1 modules, boosting its capabilities in verticals such as healthcare, utilities, and industrial automation.
From advanced chip design to seamless connectivity and robust device management solutions, Trasna is redefining IoT. By taking full control of the ecosystem, it delivers unrivalled efficiency, quality, and security - empowering customers with transformative IoT solutions.
Today, Trasna is a global force with a presence spanning four continents. Headquartered in Ireland, with innovation hubs in France, Italy, Dubai, India, and Tunisia, plus GSMA-certified production facilities in Dubai and Bosnia. The company has now built a platform to serve a global market. Trasna now boasts a range of highly innovative products, from its core processors, microcontrollers, and cellular IoT modules to its multi-eSIM orchestration hub, IoT eSIM remote manager and device management platform; its portfolio emphatically addresses the market's evolving needs. This momentum continues as the company is currently developing its own System on Chip (SoC) powered by AI that incorporates an integrated iSIM module - an innovation that has the potential to significantly disrupt the IoT market. The developments position Trasna as the world’s only provider of complete, in-house connectivity and device management solutions across all form factors, from SIM cards to eSIM modules, with integrated RSP technology and SoC (System on Chips) featuring iSIM. This streamlined, one-stop solution drastically simplifies the deployment of these technologies, offering customers unparalleled ease and efficiency in their connectivity management needs.
