re: STK enabled Java SIM (Java Card 2.1) at Telefonica Moviles >> Three Test Java based SIM Cards Live trials of commercial mobile value-added services by the foremost SIM card suppliers have confirmed the interoperability of the latest Java Card 2.1 standard. Conducted by the Spanish operator Telefonica Moviles, the trial ran identical information-on-demand and pre-paid value-added service (VAS) applets on Java SIMs from Gemplus, Oberthur Card Systems and Schlumberger. This is the first full trial by a GSM operator, and sends a very positive signal to operators worldwide, as they plan their VAS deployment strategies. "The implementation of real-world SIM Toolkit services using the new Java platform is a milestone for progress in mobile services," says Carlos Gomez Melendo at Telefonica Moviles. "For us, the portability of this platform translates to faster development and more economic deployment of new services, because it avoids the multiple and complex validations required when using proprietary SIM technologies." Complete interoperability is seen as critical to shortening time to market for new value-added mobile services, by streamlining service delivery and maximizing flexibility of card supply, and the results of the trials will be welcomed by the global operator community looking to promote SMS-based services. << - Eric -

re: HSCSD Like the Communicator ... "HSCSD is aimed at the corporate data market, where mobile access to corporate data is critical". >> Internet Spoofing Software Tested Over UK HSCSD Service June 8, 2001 UK Cellular News The UK based iOra, has successfully completed trials of its Mobile Intranet software over the the GSM network, Orange's HSCSD upgrade. iOra's Mobile Intranet maintains Intranet content on laptops, giving offline access with high-speed updates. As a result laptop users need to dial-in less frequently, and automatically receive updates in a fraction of the time it would take to download new files. During the trials, this resulted in a 20-fold reduction in download times and 20-fold cost saving on the HSCSD service costs. Martin Wood, Senior Product Manager - Mobile Data Access at Orange commented, "HSCSD is aimed at the corporate data market, where mobile access to corporate data is critical. iOra Mobile Intranet is an exciting solution - it maximizes the potential of available bandwidth." According to recent research conducted by Arthur Andersen, 66% of organizations currently use laptops for remote access to corporate content, but cited lack of bandwidth, poor reliability of service, and security concerns as key constraints for successful use of mobile data. << - Eric -
