Subscriber Identity Module or commonly known as the SIM card is a portable silicon memory chip that is exchangeable and carries the identity of the users. SIM card is inserted in a smartmobile device unit or device that is connected to a network of smartmobile.
SIM card is a small yet amazing chip that sends messages and MMS as well dial and receive a call. It also has the ability to store minimal data. However, Giesecke & Devrient is not yet satisfied with the small size and capability of the usual SIM card. The company now introduces nano-SIM. Giesecke & Devrient is headquartered in Munich, Germany.
The company produced the very initial SIM card in the whole world. With this action plan of G&D, it aims to develop smaller chips with greater functions.
The nano-SIM is made thinner and smaller for sleek and thin devices. It also implies that nano-SIM could provide more room for larger storage, and longer battery life of the device in order for users to really enjoy his or her browsing experience through a smartmobile device unit.
As compared with the micro-SIM, nano-SIM card is relatively smaller. The new nano-SIM card is sixty percent smaller and fifteen percent thinner as compared with the SIM cards found in many handsets of GSM today. Nano-SIM card can also be found right inside the smartmobile devices of Apple Incorporated – iPhone 4 and version 4S.
By early 2012, nano-SIM card is expected to arrive on smartmobile devices which created a room for this smaller memory chip. G&D also added that the nano-SIM will be standardized before the end of the year.
