Transatel NTT joins EUWENA with the Promise of Building a Bridge for Service Continuity between Private and Public Cellular Networks Globally

At the occasion of the Mobile World Congress 2023 in Barcelona, EUWENA – the European Users Wireless Enterprise Network Association – welcomes global MVNO Enabler and IoT connectivity service provider Transatel (a subsidiary of NTT Ltd. since 2019) as a new member.
Founded in 2000 by Jacques Bonifay and Bertrand Salomon, Transatel has been trailblazing M2M telecommunications for years and developed breakthrough cellular connectivity solutions enabling any devices to switch between private 4G/5G enterprise networks and hundreds of public cellular networks across the globe.  

“We are pleased to welcome Transatel in our association. With Airbus, Transatel were the pioneers to test the first service continuity between Air France’s private POC and public networks back in 2018.” says  Christian Regnier, co-founder of EUWENA.

“Transatel fully supports EUWENA in its mission to promote the adoption of private mobile networks in Europe. As part of NTT, we believe Private 5G will become the backbone of industry 4.0. Enterprises already need hybrid public-private cellular solutions to expend their IoT operations worldwide. That is what we are committed to bring to the market with a truly global, secure and scalable IoT connectivity platform that enables service continuity across networks, independently from mobile carriers.” adds Jacques Bonifay, CEO of Transatel.

While promoting a greater uptake of cellular private mobile broadband networks and harmonization of frequency spectrum across Europe, EUWENA recognizes the challenge of understanding the complex environment around private local use spectrum availability in each country (licensing conditions, pricing schemes, application process, …). In order to simplify this process, EUWENA has compiled a spectrum information observatory on its website. This observatory will be updated annually with a concise overview of the available European frequency spectrums, for private corporate and industry individuals who wish to implement their own private local mobile network.
