Advanced SIM Applications
- Course Name: Advanced SIM Applications
- Duration: 1 day
- Technical Level: 2
Overview
Many high revenue generating services and applications in modern mobile networks are enabled by extensive use of the Subscriber Identity Module. With SIM functionality continuously evolving, and the introduction of ever more complex and sophisticated services, the SIM card is set to play an even more important role as networks evolve through GSM, GPRS and 3G, and also converge with other wireless technologies such as WiFi.
SIM cards provide basic functions such as security, phone number storage, and storage of network data, but also increasingly support a multitude of services and applications, easily deployable right across 2G, 2.5G & 3G wireless networks.
This one-day seminar allows you to benefit from Gemplus' expertise and long experience in the wireless arena. You will be able to assess and maximize the potential of the SIM card, plan ahead, and then implement services and applications that will drive revenue growth in the evolving network.
