Gemplus USIM Cards Chosen by 3 Italia for the First Commercial Launch of Mobile TV

Geschrieben am 02-05-2006

Luxembourg (ots/PRNewswire) -

- GemXplore Generations Cards Lead the Mobile TV Market for
Security and Flexibility

Gemplus International S.A. (Euronext: LU0121706294 - GEM and
NASDAQ: GEMP), a world leading provider of secure card-based
solutions, today announced that it has been selected as the exclusive
USIM partner of 3 Italia, the leading Italian Mobile Media Company,
for its world first Mobile TV service. Based on DVB-H technology, the
service will be launched on 3 Italia's network prior to the FIFA
World Cup in June 2006.

GemXplore Generations cards provide high security for TV content
delivered to mobile phones and therefore protect 3 Italia's Mobile TV
revenue streams. The cards host the end-user's access rights and
protect the access to the encrypted TV content, thus securing the
actual service. 3 Italia can also easily upgrade the security and
functionality levels of the CAS (Conditional Access System) applet
located on the user's USIM card once it is deployed in the field. The
conditional access solution is provided by Gemplus's partner
Nagravision, the leading independent provider of open conditional
access and integrated solutions for digital TV operators and content
providers.

"We strongly believe in DVB-H and for this reason we have selected
technologically advanced partners that believe, as we do, in this
business and offer the highest levels of reliability," said Dina
Ravera, Chief Operating Officer of 3 Italia.

GemXplore Generations cards will enable 3 Italia to dynamically
manage each user profile, thus creating a highly flexible Mobile TV
service. This will strengthen their one-to-one relationship with
their customers and improve their direct marketing campaigns.

"The arrival of multimedia technologies in the mobile space,
combined with the launch of 3G networks, force mobile network
operators to constantly offer more innovative services to their
end-users," said Philippe Vallée, Chief Technology Officer, Gemplus.
"In this context, SIM cards play a key role in establishing mobile
operators' brand across all communication channels while enabling the
management and control of these new services".
