Samsung Electronics' Next-Generation High-Performance SIM Card IC Facilitates 3G Mobile Services.PARIS Paris, in Greek mythology Paris or Alexander, in Greek mythology, son of Priam and Hecuba and brother of Hector. Because it was prophesied that he would cause the destruction of Troy, Paris was abandoned on Mt. -- Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a leader in advanced semiconductor technology, today 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.
