The
last few days we often hear news of nano-SIM, but no actual sightings or
illustrations that will shape these nano-SIM. Prototype and the illustrations
are now revealed as reported by the media The Verge.
The
Verge has seen the proposal submitted by Apple and a prototype developed by
Oberthur Technologies, the shape of the prototype is almost the same as the
form of micro-current driver's license, but with no plastic frame around the
chip at all. Nokia to complain about this, as underlined by the ETSI (European
Telecommunications Standards Institute) that this new format should not be
inadvertently caught in the micro-SIM slot, which can happen with Apple if
included in the inverted state.
This
design requires a tray to keep the position and physical size of the largest
among the others (12.3 mm x 8.8 mm).
As
expected, Nokia and RIM's proposal also has its drawbacks. With its more like a
microSD card, this form has a more radical design than ever before, and
therefore may not be used in micro-SIM slot or regular SIM slot and force users
to only use the phone with the appropriate slot.
The
design is displayed as shown below may be helpful to understand why the
operators prefer Apple's design compared to Nokia and RIM. Apple's choice with
a more simple design that is easier to market operators and customers can more
easily keep changing their mobile devices. Nano-SIM is designed to keep abreast
of current and future technologies, so that a device does not need to provide a
great place for a SIM slot and can use the site for other media such as a
battery or storage media.
