We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "SIM",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release WiFi accessory offers an easy upgrade from
Telit Wireless Solutions, which we summarised at the time by saying "The WA100-Dual is a versatile addition to any GE863-PRO3-based design, instantly adding the power of WiFi communications and the versatility of the SDIO interface".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Handheld connector combines SIM and microSD cards from
JAE Europe: "The ST5 series connector stacks the SIM card and the push/push microSD card vertically to reduce board-space requirements in mobile phone handsets".
In January 2008, we covered the news from AVX
concerning its 5036 series
- take a look at SIM connectors lock into place
which says: "Cost effective choice for applications such as utility metering, remote monitoring, machine-to-machine interfacing, asset tracking and data logging".
Take a look also at the news release from EM Microelectronic, Membership furthers near-field acceptance,
as well as Processor boosts energy efficiency from ARM,
and Smartcard microcontroller boasts a big Flash from Silicon Storage Technology.
