UMTS: Alive and Well - 4G Americas

Gemalto, a 1.7b euros leader in digital security, is the largest provider of secure tokens and trustedservices. In 2008, Gemalto provided 1.4 billion microprocessor cards, including one billion SIM/UICC toover 500 operators worldwide, secure payment cards and services to the financial industry and identitysolutions to governments and enterprises globally.In 2009, Gemalto was selected by Verizon to provide the first OTA server and Rel-8 LTE UICC. Gemaltois also well positioned in providing over-the-air platforms and operated services to conduct remoteupdates of data as well as application download and maintenance.Gemalto demonstrated the following use cases taking advantage of Rel-7 and Rel-8 features:• The USB UICC has been integrated and tested with multiple device chipsets and is also used intrials to customize netbooks and notebooks. In these trials, the operator connection manager andcommunication suites are retrieved from the mass storage area of the USB UICC and are autoinstalledin generic PCs. The first commercially available notebooks from ECS were releasedsupporting the USB UICC.• The Smart Card Web Server has been successfully integrated with multiple OEMs products thatwill be commercially released in 2010. Gemalto demonstrated a complete Application ExecutionEnvironment based on Smart Card Web Server. In this demonstration, the consumer accessesan operator service portal and cloud applications presented by the UICC via xHTML pages thatare dynamically created locally and remotely, and launched by the user or automatically by localevent. These xHTML pages, stored in the UICC, can be browsed using the WAP browser of thehandset and provide shortcuts to launch HTTPS connections, premium SMS services, set upcalls or manage local UICC NFC applications. Gemalto demonstrated two implementations of theinterface: one with the BIP TCP Server over classic ISO and another with TCP-IP over USB-IC.• DVD quality video streaming at 4 Mbps over TCP-IP from the UICC with parallel gaming viaa browser session: In this demonstration presented in October 2007, a consumer launched thephone’s browser and viewed a video streamed directly from the UICC while simultaneouslyplaying a game of Othello.• Contactless transit, payment and smart poster applications processed in the UICC for NFCtrials. Overall, Gemalto demonstrated that the UICC can run the MasterCard Paypass, VisaPaywave, JCB, and PBOChina contactless payment applications in separate security domains,with multiple instantiations (i.e. multiple credit cards using the same application), and remotepersonalization (i.e. credit card remote issuance in the UICC). Gemalto also demonstrated transitapplications based on Mifare and Calypso, representing close to 100 percent of all contactlesstransit applications, and smart coupons and posters in NFC reader mode. For richer brandpresentation during transactions, Gemalto relied on the Single Wire Protocol (Rel-7), HCI, theSmart Card Web Server and also J2ME wallets. The Single Wire Protocol was demonstrated withLG, Motorola, Nokia, Sagem and Samsung devices supporting the various GSM Association Pay-Buy-Mobile trials.Hewlett-Packard: The foundation for building the ultimate “user experience” begins with a well-defined“carrier experience.” If a carrier’s network is difficult to manage, the user experience will deteriorate.Managing the Multi-G network becomes a challenge that needs to be addressed at the core to assure theuser experience is the primary objective. Managing overlapping technologies in both a forward-looking,yet backward-instinctive manner has to be flawless. This core network philosophy for tomorrow’s networkis a primary focus of the HP Mobility product suite. Presented below are the highlights of the HP vision.www.3GAmericas.org February 2010 Page 121
