The SIM card has its days numbered? It seems so, at least that reported in 2015 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, ensuring that 2016 will be the year that will see the first steps in implementing the technology that will allow mobile phones do not depend on card to work.
replace the eSIM (embeddesd SIM) or electronic integrated SIM card, which are already working on its implementation on some phones.
Among the advantages of a eSIM would. speed changing mobile operator when required and avoid paying the SIM traditional where it should be replaced, or change of equipment or impairment
the global operators, terminal manufacturers and manufacturers SIM cards work together in the development of an interoperable solution for eSIM. Among them they are: America Movil, Ooredoo, Telefonica, China Unicom Huawei, LG, Samsung, Sony Mobile, Gemalto, Giesecke & amp; Devrient, Morpho, Oberthur Technologies and STMicroelectronics and Valid.
is a viable change
Samuel Velasquez, former manager of EPM Telecommunications and communications exviceministro 2001 he says that technology walking by leaps and bounds and the SIM card already has a little over 20 years. So you think that maybe it’s time to work on developing a new technology to replace them.
“I see very viable to do so soon and now with cloud technologies will be easier. They may be one or two years for eSIM are implemented, “he says.
According to Velasquez, the cost of managing the SIM used in the phones is very high, including manufacturing and distribution, for that compared with the technology that can be included in the mobile and the advantages it would offer would be cheaper “
in addition, she said.” no longer a part that is damaged and can be lost; and that will not happen. “
To Daniel Cuellar, vice president of Gemalto for the Andean Pact and the Caribbean, the SIM Card” is by definition a security element and as such is necessary and indispensable to protect operators and users throughout the lifecycle of a mobile online “.
Cuellar explains that just as there are cards of different shapes and sizes, including known micro or nano SIM SIM, there are also other mobile terminals where traditional SIM is incorporated.
it clarifies that in the case of eSIM is already present in the growing world of Internet of Things (IoT by name in English). According to the spokesman Gemalto SIM embedded there is already a standard in the automotive industry to monitor luxury cars and in some years it will take great importance in tablets and smartphones. When? Still
is not known. This year?
In the second half of last year it emerged information indicating that the two leading smartphone sale the world: Apple and Samsung were close to an agreement with the GSM Association (GSM Association) to stop using the traditional SIM and replace the eSIM
it would not be so strange, but so far it has not. any information known that the next Samsung Galaxy -the S7, or iPhone 7 include this new technology.
Apple was the first manufacturer to put in a phone nano SIM. He did it in the iPhone 5 when it launched in September 2012. At that time, who had a iPhone 4S and spent 5 had to change SIM card to use their phones, using the micro SIM 4S, becoming, along with fourth-generation iPad, in the last two Apple devices to use this type of card.
the ComputerWeekly website reported that the former CEO of GSMA, Anne Bouverot, wanted the adoption of eSIM do part his legacy in the company and confirmed the development in which they were involved, “we have been working with Apple, Samsung and others to create a solution in the industry and agree on a solution for consumer electronics.”
Daniel Cuellar explains that as eSIM have additional implications for protection and deployment compared to traditional SIM, and therefore safety features and activation so far have not been implemented in Latin America on a massive scale required, and Gemalto is already working with operators and different market players in the region to allow easy adoption
That’s the SIM oF MOBILE.
– nano SIM came out in October 2012 measuring 12.3 × 8.8 × 0.67 mm
– micro Sim was included for the first time on an iPhone 4 in June 2010. it is still used.
– mini SIM included in the first smartphones
– wearables and wearable devices are a potential market for the next eSIM
