Making NFC services easier to use

On 22 February 2008, the ETSI Smart Card Platform Technical Committee (TC SCP) approved the specification for a dedicated interface, the so-called "Host Controller Interface" (HCI).  HCI will make NFC services easier to use by enabling consumers to access all the secure applications on their handset, no matter where they are stored, through one common interface.  This decision completes the standards necessary for handset makers to begin production of NFC-enabled phones in large volumes.

Roaming: traffic redirection over the SIM

Maximize roaming revenues with a SIM/OTA & SS7-based solution for traffic re-direction while offering the best quality of service for end-users. The LinqUs Roaming Director is a two-level solution: real-time OTA updates of the PLMN file and batch campaigns combined to the SS7 network-based roaming server. It allows operators to steer outbound roamers to preferred networks dynamically, taking into account business rules. In an increasingly complex roaming environment, Gemalto offers this combined solution as a complete end-to-end steering service or can integrate necessary modules within existing solutions.

LinqUs Roaming Director enables operators to redirect up to 90% of roaming traffic onto their preferred networks.  Click here for more information...
