Gemplus SIM Cards

Gemplus is manufacturing the SIM cards for Nextel to iDEN® standard specifications. This Motorola technology supports voice, data, short messages and other features in one phone. It operates in the 800 MHz and 1.5 GHz bands and is based on TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access).

A key benefit of the Gemplus SIM card for Nextel and its customers is enhanced security, with a strongly encrypted "handshake" between the user and the network that provides a highly dependable means of user identification. SIM cards create the freedom for users to roam internationally without losing their personal set-ups and to change wireless terminals as they wish, without calling customer care. SIM cards also open the door to application security for mobile commerce and wireless Intranet.
