They celebrate the unique contribution and investment of leading industry players like Gemalto in developing next generation products and solutions for the digital age. The innovation of "IPv6 embedded stack" lies in the implementation of an IPv6 communication stack in a smart card integrating a high-speed protocol communication interface. The growing trend towards converging all means of communication - data, voice and video - to a single protocol clearly demonstrated that the IPv4 address space could not meet the needs of an ever-increasing demand for IP connected devices. Besides providing a tremendous number of additional IP addresses, IPv6 brings significant enhancements such as autoconfiguration and built-in security for data protection. This innovation definitely makes the smart card a fully-fledged network citizen in this new connected world. SIM Strong leverages the ubiquity of SIM-equipped mobile devices to provide secure access to online content and services.
