With the GIGAntICTM, a new generation of USIM cards with unlimited device interoperability has arrived – one that can offer security and programmability, combined with a totally new level of USIM card performances. Compared to current USIM cards available today in the field, Oberthur’s GIGAntICTM increases the memory capacity by one thousand and the communication speed far and beyond any current industry performance . This augurs a new area for the increasingly ubiquitous smart cards - as today found in telecommunications, banking, transport and ID segments - while taking a gigantic step forward in bridging the security, telecoms, multimedia and IT industries. The new card provides a standardised and easily accessible and transferable memory resource, alleviating the need to design additional card slots in handsets and for the bundling of memory cards that is commonplace in many of today’s smart-phones. Fundamentally, the MegaSIMTM empowered GIGAntICTM card’s secure large flash memory enables operators to offer considerably more revenue-generating services, with advanced crypto functionality for digital content protection - allowing storage and secured access to MP3 files (several albums), Java Games, video clips, pictures and personal settings. With the advent of this new card, M-Systems and Oberthur Card Systems are once again at the forefront of smart card design for the telecoms market, leveraging an optimal combination of the most innovative and proven technologies. GIGAntIC cards will be available from Oberthur Card Systems starting with the second half of 2005. More details on Oberthur Card Systems new GIGAntIC card and M-Systems MegaSIM technology will be revealed at the 3GSM Congress in Cannes, in February 2005.
