How telcos and OEMs can simplify IoT with a single chip-to-cloud partner

At MWC25, Mobile World Live caught up with Trasna CEO Stéphane Fund to explore how a fully integrated chip-to-cloud approach is helping telcos and OEMs reduce complexity, improve security, and accelerate time to market in the fast-moving IoT space.

Overcoming IoT’s biggest challenges

For many operators and device manufacturers, IoT rollouts are slowed by a fragmented supply chain. It’s common to work with five or more vendors – one for SIMs, another for connectivity, and more for device management and security.

However, this multi-vendor approach often leads to integration headaches, hidden costs, and inconsistent market performance.

Why a unified approach from chip to cloud works best

In the interview, Fund explains how bringing together the key IoT building blocks – from semiconductor design and eSIM provisioning to secure connectivity and cloud-based device management – can dramatically simplify operations for telcos and OEMs alike.

“If you’re a device manufacturer, you don’t need to find five or six suppliers – You get one fully integrated solution that’s ready to go.”

The benefits for telcos and OEMs

For network operators and original equipment manufacturers, thisintegrated model means:

• Faster go-to-market – no delays from vendor integration oronboarding
• End-to-end security – built in at every stage from chip to cloudvia SIM, device and apps
• Total supply chain control – from chip design and eSIMmanufacturing to backend orchestration
• Scalability – easily expandacross new markets or devices without reinventing the stack

Simplifying remote management at scale

One highlight of Trasna’s MWC25 showcase was its cloud-based unified SIM and device management platform — offering unparalleled end-to-end security and simplified for operations. For telcos, this provides a way to manage thousands (or millions) of connected devices remotely with automation, multi-tenancy, and real-time visibility.

Supporting 5G IoT with next-gen chipsets

With the rise of 5G – especially narrowband and private network deployments – telcos and OEMs need hardware optimised for low power, high performance, and secure connectivity. Trasna is now developing chipsets specifically built for this, enabling smarter, more efficient device rollouts.
