Samsung's' next-gen SIM card IC facilitates 3G mobile services.Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a leader in advanced semiconductor technology, has announced its new high performance subscriber identification module (SIM) card IC (S3FJ9CH). The advanced card technology accommodates the increasing data storage requirements in next-generation mobile data services such as digital photography and video, MP3 music files, online gaming and m-commerce. The new SIM card IC will be demonstrated in Hall 3, Booth No.3 C 29 at the CARTES 2004 exhibition held in Paris, France from November 2 through 4. The new SIM card IC incorporates a System-in-Package (SiP) technology including a 128-Megabyte (MB) NAND flash memory with 120-times more memory space than conventional smart card ICs. Samsung's advanced SIM card IC supports high-speed MMC See MultiMediaCard and Microsoft Management Console. and a USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. 2.0 full-speed interface as well as the ISO (1) See ISO speed.

The U.S. member body is ANSI. 7816 standard for enhanced data transmission. An ARM-based 32-bit SC200 CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. core, a JAVA accelerator, triple-DES and AES algorithms, and PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) A framework for creating a secure method for exchanging information based on public key cryptography. The foundation of a PKI is the certificate authority (CA), which issues digital certificates that authenticate the identity of crypto processor are built-in to strengthen security measures and stabilize transmission of personal data. "Our new SIM IC efficiently accommodates the convergence of diverse entertainment functionality and personal information transactions," said C. H. Chung, vice president at Samsung Electronics' System LSI division. "Samsung offers a total smart card IC solution for GSM/GPRS and IMT IMT, n.pr See inspiratory muscle training. 2000 user/ subscriber identification cards with maximum data storage capacity to fully support the rapidly evolving 3G mobile lifestyle." Evaluation samples of the new Samsung SIM card IC are available now for SIM card system providers. Samsung plans to promote the application of its new SIM card format for enhanced user-friendly services in the future telecommunication environment. The S3FJ9CH is slated for mass production in the second half of 2005 and will be available for sale in Europe. |
