for use in mobile phones supporting the NFC (Near Field Communication)
function, in anticipation of the worldwide rollout of mobile
contactless services forecast for 2010 and 2011. Toshiba plans to
release samples of the new card in the third quarter of 2009, and will
exhibit the card and provide full details at the GSMA Mobile World
Congress 2009, to be held in Barcelona, Spain, from February 16
through 19.
Toshiba's newly developed USIM card meets the latest specifications of
the European Telecommunications Standards Institute-Smart Card
Platform (ETSI SCP) and the GSM Association (GSMA). It is also
compatible with the GSMA's Pay-Buy-Mobile programme, and offers full
support for mobile contactless services, and meets all the security
levels required for international payment applications.
Toshiba is able to draw on capabilities in mobile phone handsets,
semiconductors and systems to deliver a lineup of newly developed USIM
cards offering high value-added solutions.
