HONG KONG-Smart-card solution provider Schlumberger said Hong Kong mobile operator Sunday plans to upgrade its subscribers’ phones to user-programmable multiservice terminals using Simera 32 Java-compatible subscriber identity modules and an Aremis application management server, both from Schlumberger. The system would allow subscribers to download services over the air.
Schlumberger also said it is providing Orange plc in Hong Kong its open Simera 32 platform to give the carrier capacity to integrate two existing suites of Phase 2+ SIM Toolkit services that each previously required its own SIM.
