Bantry Technologies supplies a full and exhaustive range of smart card operating systems designed for your telecommunication requirements. Our independent software solution allows you to select the product that you really need. Bantry Technologies is proud to offer both native and Java Card™ based solutions to cover low-end as well as high-end SIM cards.

An optimised and user-friendly rapid applet development named Geode™ is also proposed to complement all Deimos phase 2+ products.

Based upon our internally developed native card operating system, the low-end, cost-effective Bantry Technologies’ Deimos range of products is fully compliant with the ETSI GSM standards. Bantry Technologies proposes the following products:

• Deimos SIM Phase 2, which is fully compliant with the ETSI GSM 11.11 standard
• Deimos PIM Phase 2, primarily targeting the Chinese market, which is fully compliant with the PHS standard
• Deimos SIM Phase 2+, which is fully compliant with the ETSI GSM 11.11, ETSI GSM 11.14 and ETSI SM 03.48 standards
• Deimos SIM WIB 1.2, which is similar to Deimos Phase 2+ augmented with the WIB 1.2 micro-browser
• Deimos SIM S@T, which is similar to Deimos Phase 2+ augmented with the S@T micro-browser

Bantry Technologies' expertise in the telecom space is used to complement Trusted Logic's jTOP™ Java Card™ solution, which has become over years, one of the most recognised Java implementation for smart cards in various market segments, such as identity, banking, e-passport, etc. Bantry Technologies has developed in an innovative and flexible manner a Java Card™ SIM Toolkit applet that can be loaded onto the telecom-enabled Trusted Logic's Java Card™ Virtual Machine to turn it into a Java Card SIM operating system.

This unique cooperation enabled the two companies to offer the ideal complementary expertise in Java Card™ and telecom arenas. The modular approach chosen by Bantry Technologies augmented by the secure solution delivered by Trusted Logic gave bith to the joint products maXim and maXim Manager for a flexible, secure and fully interoperable high-end Java Card™ SIM operating system. In order to respond to the mobile network operators growing demand for interoperability and large memory size, Bantry Technologies and Trusted Logic are offering a solution compliant with:

• ETSI GSM 11.11 (file management), ETSI GSM 11.14 (SIM Toolkit applet management), ETSI GSM 03.19 (SIM API for Java Card™) and ETSI GSM 03.48 (remote card management)
• SIMalliance Interoperability Stepping Stones
• Java Card™ 2.2.1 / Visa GlobalPlatform 2.1.1 Config 2
• Optional SIM micro-browsers such as but not limited to SmartTrust WIB 1.3 or SIMalliance S@T complement the base products. For this latter product, the related S@T Manager enables users to create their own S@T scenarios.

As a logical extension to the maXim solution, Bantry Technologies and Trusted Logic also provide the 3G version of the maXim product.

• ETSI GSM 11.11 (USIM File System module), ETSI GSM 11.14 (USIM Application Toolkit - USAT- module), ETSI TS 102 240 and ETSI 102 241 (UICC Java Card™ API module) and ETSI TS 102 224, ETSI TS 102 225 and ETSI TS 102 226 (USIM Remote Manager module)
• SIMalliance Interoperability Stepping Stones
• Java Card™ 2.2.1 / Visa GlobalPlatform 2.1.1 Config 2
• Optional SIM micro-browsers such as but not limited to SmartTrust WIB 1.3 or SIMalliance S@T complement the base products. For this latter product, the related S@T Manager enables users to create their own S@T scenarios.

Even though the Java Card™ has gained credibility over the last few years and can be considered as the winning technology for interoperable cards, some mobile network operators do not need or do not want to deploy Java Card™ massively. On the contrary, they would much prefer continue deploying in majority native SIM cards and reserve only a percentage of the total number of cards using the Java technology for testing it and analysing the benefits. Bantry Technologies wishes to respond to this business case by offering a joint offer – native and Java-based SIM cards – to its customers. Needless to say that the Deimos and maXim card operating systems can be personalised with the exact same set of commands to simplify card management issues for mobile network operators and smart card manufacturers that would like to get a mix of both products to cover their market requirements.
