Use of the UICC in LTE networks opens up new benefits and possibilities for operators, subscribers and handset manufacturers. Here we will discuss some of the most exciting.
Think of the UICC as a piece of the operator in the hands of subscribers – even
if a handset is branded by its manufacturer, the UICC is distinctly the
operator’s. The UICC can house numerous operator-branded applications that can
be added anytime via OTA. This opens up a lot of possibilities for the UICC when
it is used in LTE networks. In addition to authentication and secure storage,
some of the possibilities of the UICC in LTE networks include access to
IMS
networks, Mobile TV,
Near Field Communications (paying with
your mobile phone), and Machine to Machine
(M2M) communications.
