Knowledge Base - SMAOT UICC Milenage: Quick guide

Gemalto Telecom Card Admin tool is a tool to edit SIM & UICC cards. Card Admin provides all the necessary fundamentals to FULLY (Proprietary files, Proprietary commands etc.) administrate any 2G, 3G, LTE and CDMA card (Gemalto & Competition).

The unit formed of a chip and a contact plate.

Smartjac OT series of UICC / SIM cards ranging from 2G SIM cards with XOR support, to advanced multi-application LTE UICC cards with Milenage support, NFC, USIM, ISIM and CSIM.

A high capacity smart card used in mobile terminals for GSM, UMTS/3G and now 4G/LTE networks.

A pre-3G digital mobile phone technology allowing improved data transmission rates.

A network oriented programming language invented by Sun Microsystems and specificallt designed so that programs can be safely downloaded to remote devices.

Universal Subscriber Identity Module. A SIM with adbanced software that ensures continuity when migrating to 3G services.

Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. A client-server communication protocol developed for World Wide Web. See IETF RFC2616, www.ietf.org.

International Mobile Subscriber Identity. A unique number associated with each mobile phone user. It is stored in the SIM inside the phone and is sent by the phone to the network. It is primarily intended for obtaining information on the use of the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) by subscribers. It is also used for other functions such as to compute the Paging Occasions (PO) in LTE. See 3GPP TS22.016 and TS23.003.

A subscriber identity module or subscriber identification module (SIM) is an integrated circuit chip that is intended to securely store the international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) number and its related key, which are used to identify and authenticate subscribers on mobile telephony devices.

Global System for Mobile Communications. A European standard for digital cellular phones that has now been widely adopted throughout the world.

Near-Field Communication. A wireless technology that enables communication over short distances (e.g. 4cm), typically between a mobile device and a reader.

Personal Digital Assistant. A mobile device that functions as a personal information manager, often with the ability to connect to the internet.

Personal Identification Number. A secret code required to confirm a user's identity.

Cyclic Redundancy Check. An error detecting code appended to a block of data to be transmitted. The value of the CRC is calculated only from the block of data itself. The length of the CRC determines the number of errors which can be detected in the block of data on reception. A CRC is not able to correct errors or determine which bits are erroneous.

Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem. An architectural framework for delivering Internet Protocol (IP) multimedia services via UTRAN and E- UTRAN. See 3GPP TS23.228 and TS23.406.

Network Domain Security. A security architecture for network domain Internet Protocol (IP) based control planes, which is applied to NDS/IP-networks (i.e. 3GPP and fixed broadband networks) to provide security in the Core Network (CN). See 3GPP TS33.210.

4FF (4th Form Factor) is a very small SIM card, also known as nano-SIM, for use in small mobile device.

Device Management: Management of mobile phone configuration, updates and other managed objects of mobile devices over the entire life-cycle as defined by OMA DM. DM is also used generically to describe all methods and activities associated with mobile device management.

Operating System. Software that runs on computers and other smart devices and that manages the way they function.

Secure Element. A secure and personalised physical component added to a system to manage users rights and to host secure apps. SE typically consist of a Silicon Chip, a secure Operating System, application software and a secure protocol to communicate to the device. SE can be a removable device (such as UICC or µSD for mobile devices or MIM for M2M connected machines). SE can also be components inside the system.

Base Station. The entity in a radio access network responsible for radio trans- mission and reception in one or more cells to and from the UE. In LTE the BS is known as the eNodeB.

Core Network. The part of the 3GPP system which is independent of the connection technology (e.g. the Radio Access Technology (RAT)) of the terminals. The terminals connect to the core network via the access network (which is RAT-specific).

Home Environment. The HE of a subscriber is responsible for the overall pro- vision and control of the personal service environment to the subscriber. 

HandOver. HO is a procedure by which a mobile terminal changes serving cells (within the same frequency or on different frequencies or even on different Radio Access Technologies (RAT)). See 3GPP TS36.133.

Packet Switched. In PS communication each data packet is labelled with the destination address and routed over a shared transmission resource. In contrast with Circuit Switching (CS) where dedicated transmission resources are re- served between network nodes to deliver a reliable transmission rate and delay, in a PS connection the transmission rate and delay may vary depending on the traffic load and the medium capacity, with packets being buffered if necessary.

User Equipment. The mobile unit which allows a user to access network services, connecting to the UTRAN or E-UTRAN via the radio interface. A UE can be subdivided into a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) and a Mo- bile Equipment (ME). See 3GPP TS21.905 Section 3.
