Transatel’s SIM card connects Ledger Origin trackers for data collection worldwide
The “certification of origin for green energy” project brings together Ledger’s expertise in blockchain technology and security and Transatel’s leading global cellular connectivity solution. The project was singled out based on Transatel’s flexibility and agility to adapt to Ledger Origin’s specific needs, allowing for a single integration between Ledger’s servers and Transatel’s, and enabling global deployment.
Ledger Origin Oracles directly collect data from numerous renewable energy production sites. All the data is aggregated by a Ledger Origin Field Gateway, requiring Transatel’s SIM card with an international MNC (Mobile Network Code) to be securely transferred to Ledger Origin’s cloud servers.
Transatel and their partner Ledger have consequently been awarded for their innovation in the environmental transition, in front of a broad audience during the ceremony of the IoT Awards 2020. Indeed, the IoT and M2M Solutions congress registered a record number of international attendees, with more than 191 exhibitors from the industries of Big Data, blockchain, energy, IoT, mobility, telecom, or IT security.
