SIM Application Toolkit Description
SIM Application Toolkit (SAT) has been the major Value Added
Service (VAS) technology over recent years. Through Gemalto?s
experience in real life implementations, we have a clear vision
of the services being deployed, the security considerations, new
marketing tactics, design methodologies and the need for
partnerships with banks or information providers.
The SAT technology has already proved its value in the field
to deliver churn-reducing value added services. Existing
services are educating users to expect more from their mobile
phones. SAT is delivering secure, flexible, user-friendly value
added services on existing networks and handsets. SAT will
continue to be a predominant VAS technology for mobile services
over the next few years. |
What is SIM Application Toolkit
technology?
The SIM Application Toolkit is a set of commands which define
how the card should interact with the outside world and extends
the communication protocol between the card and the handset.
With SIM Application Toolkit, the card has a proactive role with
the handset (this means that the SIM initiates commands
independently of the handset and the network).
In 2G networks, SIM Application Toolkit (SAT) was defined in
GSM 11.14 standard. From release 4 onwards, GSM 11.14 is
replaced by 3GPP 31.111 which also includes specifications of
USIM Application Toolkit (USAT) for 3G networks.
