Gemplus Delivers SIM-Based Remote Provisioning Services to Six Additional Wireless Carriers in the U.S.

Luxembourg and Las Vegas, Nevada (ots/PRNewswire)

- Gemplus's Operation Center enables subscriber management
services for a total of sixteen wireless carriers
Gemplus International S.A. (Euronext: LU0121706294 - GEM and
NASDAQ: GEMP), the world's leading provider of smart card solutions,
today announces that U.S. wireless carriers Plateau Wireless, Douglas
Communications, Endless Telecom, Farmers Wireless, Petrocom, LLC, and
RCC have selected its SIM cards and OTA (over-the-air) provisioning
services for their GSM launches.
With the addition of these six new customers, Gemplus confirms its
leadership in the U.S. for operated services among regional and rural
carriers[1]. The six carriers chose Gemplus's remote provisioning and
subscription management services, which enables them to introduce new
SIM services and remotely manage the SIM cards in a rapid and
cost-effective manner.
"Gemplus's operated services solution offers Plateau Wireless a
way to manage subscriptions and SIM provisioning without the need to
invest in an in-house service bureau," said Joel Drahman, wireless
Chief Operating Officer at Plateau Wireless.
With more than three years of experience, Gemplus provides OTA
provisioning of SIM cards to a total of sixteen carriers in the U.S.
through its Operation Center in Dallas, Texas and enables subscriber
management services for many other carriers around the world. Gemplus
also provides software tools to manage SIM card files, training,
packaging services, and various SIM card applications such as
enhanced phonebook capabilities and Roaming Control to keep
subscribers on their home network longer.
"RCC feels that Gemplus has a seasoned team that is well-versed in
the GSM field, and we have full confidence in their systems and
abilities. Gemplus's OTA provisioning saves us time and resources in
integration, allowing us to focus on delivering superior service to
our subscribers," said Jim Altstadt, customer equipment director at
RCC. "We benefit from Gemplus's growing success and look forward to
working with them to expand our GSM services."
