Samsung Unveils 1GB Multimedia SIM Card
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the introduction of a 1-gigabyte subscriber identity module card solution, S-SIM, that will be demonstrated at Cartes 2006.
The subscriber identity module (SIM) card is a smart card IC-based card used to identify users in GSM mobile environments. As multimedia features increase on hand-phones, high data capacity and high-speed transmission has been added to the encrypted SIM solution.
Instead of carrying a separate memory card, Samsung's 1GB S-SIM incorporates a system-in-package (SiP) technology to carry NAND flash memory without growing the area size of the conventional SIM card. The small form factor supports the compact size of multimedia phones.
Samsung's new S-SIM is based on SIM interface to ensure compatibility with conventional systems and supports high-speed MultiMediaCard and USB interface for faster transmission of larger data volumes.
