Tethering made easy: SIMFi is a SIM card with built-in Wi-Fi router

12 February, 2010
Some mobile phones can do Wi-Fi tethering, others need to connect to the PC Suite for Internet sharing and some just can't do it, period. But what if the SIM card in the phone could do it all by itself? Sagem Orga and...

          or even better
          processor sim card
          wow
          this is the next big thing
          you can have what ever processor you want.
          i read i'm not sure if that is intel or amd but that processor is about 2x2mm big. or even graphic. processor like a booster.
          there is so many possibilities

              akon, 12 Feb 2010...And how are they going to connect the data transfer chan... moremy friend if you have 3g via sim cards going beyond 10mbps they can surely get this going... what you're talking about is age old technology, protocols have evolved, and developed that's one of the reasons we have 3g networks today, we also have wifi and Bluetooth edr on the same hardware using the very same 802.11b/g protocol, and yes 802.11b/g is a protocol... what you say about a phonebooks and messages on a sim card you talk about memory dont you get microSD cards in GBs??
              and also it is the very SIM card that is the connection between your phone and the 3g service. from what it seems you ain't no engineer buddy....

                            ...And how are they going to connect the data transfer channels and procedures between the internal wifi server of the SIM and the 3G connection of the phone ? AFAIK, the only link a sim card has with the phone is via an awfully slow serial connection, that is ok for phonebook and messages but not fast enough for data and error detection and correction. From an engineer point of view, this cannot be done without upgrading the communication stack between SIM and phone. Comments are welcome.

                                    The idea is good, but here in the uk if the networks suspects that you are tethering they will either reduce or block your data plan, im guessing that this will only be available for mobile broadband dongles.
