Eastcompeace Announces World's First OMH SIM Card For CDMA Networks (2009-9-1 / 967)
August 28th 2009, India - Eastcompeace Smart Card Co., Ltd announced its newly developed product for CDMA networks, a 32K OMH™ card for OMH handsets. OMH, open market handsets (OMH), is an industry initiative led by the CDMA Development Group (CDG) to increase device variety and offer new channels and distribution options within the CDMA ecosystem. OMH SIM cards, sometimes referred to as R-UIMs or removable user interface modules contain subscriber, network and service configuration data that allow subscribers the freedom and flexibility to easily change and upgrade their handset but maintain their network configuration settings. Since 2007, Eastcompeace has collaborated with Qualcomm, the leader of CDMA technologies, and other telecommunications industry leaders on OMH specification development.
With OMH cards and OMH devices, supply chain management is optimized throughout the entire ecosystem. The operators save costs by not having to conduct their own handset testing. Device OEMs can also benefit from larger distribution channels, enriched brand development and the ability to sell devices across many markets and regions. Most importantly CDMA subscribers will have more choices of handsets and the ability to transfer their identity and service configuration data to a new handset by simply moving the OMH card between devices. Eastcompeace OMH SIM cards, based on the 3GPP2 C.S0023-D standard, are among the first OMH cards in the industry and are important for CDMA operators around the world who want to offer their subscribers the freedom and flexibility to easily change or upgrade their handsets. OMH SIM cards can be recognized by the distinct OMH™ logo on the card itself or its packaging.
“Eastcompeace is able to provide our operator clients various types of OMH cards according to their applications and profiles. The OMH card will bring a lot of conveniences to CDMA network subscribers and therefore create value for CDMA operators.” says Mr. Huang Ning Zhai, Vice President of Eastcompeace.
