Excellence in Over-the-Air SIM Management
SmartActTM provides the means for reliable Over-the-Air (OTA) management of SIM cards for mobile operators. It uses the Remote File Management standard, and supports vendor specific OTA protocols from all major SIM suppliers and Remote Applet Management (RAM) according to the ETSI specifications for JavaTM Card based SIMs. SmartAct is designed to meet high demands on performance for remote updates in batch mode.
The SIM is emerging as a vital element for the success of new business opportunities like Near Field Communication (NFC) based commerce, Secure Authentication and Digital Signatures. With these, there is an increasing need to manage applications, domains, keys and files on the card in a reliable and secure way.
SmartAct is a holistic SIM management product covering multiple card types independent of vendor. It utilizes the message transport capabilities of SmartTrust DPTM to communicate with the SIM, and transparently handles differences that might exist in implementations of the Java Card run-time environment as well as the Remote Applet Management commands.
With Batch Order Manager (BOM), SmartAct meets high demands on performance for remote updates of large series of SIM cards. The BOM performs OTA downloads to operator defined subsets of subscribers.
The SmartAct OTA Provisioning Manager (OPM) is a business-logic layer for handling all subscription life-cycle management of the SIM. With OPM, the operator has a single point of instantaneous subscription management of all SIM-OTA aspects, RFM, DSTK and RAM. Network migrations from "SIM-less" network technologies like CDMA to GSM / 3GPP / 4G work smoothly with OPM since no SIM knowledge is needed in the Business Support System.
