SanDisk and LG Electronics worked closely to implement this new technology on the KC910 handset. SanDisk’s unique technology brings flexible storage-based services to network operators by allowing IP connectivity to the memory card in the handset. The memory card serves as a network node that is remotely manageable by the operator using industry-standard TCP/IP and the OMA Smart Card Web Server (SCWS) standard. LG’s use of the OMA SCWS standard allows the subscriber’s SIM card to be used as an authorization server.
