Bantry Technologies and Trusted Logic Launch
Their jTOP® maXim S@T and WIB™ Products
Prague, Czech Republic, April 25, 2006 -
Bantry Technologies and Trusted Logic are delighted to announce that
their jTOP® maXim product has now been enhanced with browsing
capabilities featuring the most deployed and value-added browsers:
SmartTrust™ WIB 1.3 and SIMalliance S@T 2004. After successful inroads
into the 2.5G segment with their initial jTOP® maXim platform, these
new products confirm the leadership of both companies in the
development of independent SIM software.
What do these new µbrowsers bring to the SIM community?
The
Wireless Internet Browser (WIB™) is regarded as a de-facto standard in
the mobile telecommunication industry and is used by most of the major
SIM manufacturers to certify their WIB-based cards. Established by
SmartTrust in 1999, the WIB micro-browser is already embarked on over
500 million SIM cards worldwide.
The SIMalliance
S@T solution is the only wholly standardised micro-browsing solution
and a global standard pushed by the main smart card manufacturers
worldwide enabling wireless access to dynamic Internet-based content on
Phase 2+ handsets. The SIMalliance S@T is now used on over 80.1 million
SIM cards worldwide, according to SIMalliance’ 2004 SIMalliance Market
Status and 2005 Outlook.
Why offering these browsers in jTOP® maXim?
SIM-based
value-added services, such as mobile banking or dynamic information on
demand, relying on SIM browsing technologies are getting more and more
popular. As independent SIM software providers, Bantry Technologies and
Trusted Logic focus on delivering solutions adapted to the needs of SIM
card manufacturers. Thanks to their modular approach, Bantry
Technologies and Trusted Logic were able to implement both
micro-browsers on their core jTOP® maXim product. The first releases,
named jTOP® maXim WIB™ 1.3 and jTOP® maXim S@T are offered in 64K
EEPROM on Infineon chipsets. 128K versions of the same shall be
released in the second quarter of this year.
“The
general availability of the jTOP® maXim WIB™ 1.3 and S@T products
confirms Trusted Logic’s jTOP® fast positioning in all market segments
calling for Java™, including telecommunication. With the integration of
Bantry Technologies’ (U)SIM platform and value-added services such as
WIB™ or S@T onto jTOP®, both companies are now in an ideal position to
quickly respond to the evolving needs of SIM card manufacturers,” said
Dominique Bolignano, CEO of Trusted Logic.
Both
products have already been tested and approved in the field.
“Considering the major historical differences between WIB™ and S@T live
deployments, we are proud to have successfully passed SmartTrust™ and
S@T validation with rather limited efforts” added Patrick Trane, CEO of
Bantry Technologies. “We strongly believe that the flexibility of our
jTOP® maXim products will help our partners develop and grow their
businesses more quickly.”
Over the past three years,
SIM card manufacturers have already benefited from the productive
cooperation between Bantry Technologies and Trusted Logic, and the new
mature jTOP® maXim products will sustain their confidence.
Bantry
Technologies and Trusted Logic will attend the world largest SIM 2006
event in Prague, Czech Republic between the 25th and 27th of April,
where both companies will have a joint booth. Trusted Logic and Bantry
Technologies would be delighted to meet you there and present the
unique jTOP® maXim S@T 2004 and WIB™ 1.3 to you.
