Designed by Gemalto, the Smart Video Card (SVC) is a unique innovation that
allows a smart use not only of the SIM itself, but also of the card body. A
small optical disc using the standards of DVD (digital versatile disc) is
embedded into the body of a regular SIM card.
Thus providing millions of SIM cards to the end-users, Mobile operators get a
very simple and flexible opportunity to promote any type of digital content –
newest mobile services, video, music, games, URL – drastically increasing own
revenues.
With convergence and 3G services coming now into the telecom market, content
promotion is becoming an important vector of the development of new mobile
applications. Smart Video Card is a perfect mean to broadcast these initiatives
to each subscriber.
More than 3 Billions SIM cards are distributed on the market every year and this number keeps growing. Having even a part of them as SIM Video cards opens to Mobile Operators a realm of new and high potential business opportunities:
