Features and benefits

The most reliable and robust SIM solution

World’s most optimised SIM OS footprint

The smallest operating system, allowing OEMs to select compact, cost-effective hardware to run it on.

Hardware agnostic, ruggedized on-demand

Ports to multiple hardware form factors (removable, WLCSP, eSIM and iSIM) and supports multiple grades of wear-levelling and temperature ruggedisation (industrial, automotive, consumer, healthcare).

Secure

Kigen OS offers the highest level of logical security when employed on any SIM form factor, including a secure enclave.

Seamless integration – it just works

Supports a broad range of GSMA-compliant IoT platforms and is pre-validated on the worlds leading mobile connectivity providers networks.

Outstanding network technology support

Supports 2G (GSM / CDMA), 3G (UMTS / W-CDMA), 4G (LTE), LTE Cat-1, LTE CAT-M, NB-IoT and 5G with subscriber privacy enhancements for 5G standalone network deployments.

IoT SAFE

Connect cellular devices to the cloud with IoT SIM Applet For Secure End-to-end Communication

The GSMA’s IoT SAFE initiative encourages device manufacturers and service providers to secure data at the application level using a SIM, instead of proprietary or less trusted elements. The SIM functions as a root of trust to protect communications from chip to cloud.

IoT SAFE has been designed to overcome the challenges associated with interoperability and the scaling of IoT device security. While it can be implemented on any SIM, the most significant benefits will be realized by leveraging the iSIM.

• Menu selection
• Detected location
• Over the air command
• Fallback after loss of signal
• Ability to switch files via the applet
• Configurable via accountmap file

IMEI tracking

The IMEI Lock applet allows a strong binding of a SIM to a given device.

Advance QoS applet

• Location-based optimization
• Automated network selection
• Network congestion detection

Whitelist

• Allows/Blocks calls based on a white/black-list
• Can operate in either a white or blacklist mode
• Configurable via commands sent Over The Air

…and more!

We can build additional applets for you.

Compact SIM OS or multi-application Java SIM OS?

find which one is right for you

Compact SIM OS

Smallest footprint, this OS runs natively allowing OEMs to select compact, cost-effective hardware to run it on.

Multi-application Java SIM OS

This OS supports a Java Card™ runtime environment and runs Java Card™ applications which can be loaded in-factory or later Over-The-Air (OTA). This is the best solution if you need an OS that supports applications which provide behind-the-scenes tweaks to network access.

Supported features

Both Operating System versions support important features such as SimbaTalk, Wireless Internet Browser (WIB) technology, LiveScreen, OnePIN CallerXchange, [email protected], CDMA SIM (CSIM),…
