Mobile-Mind, a developer of wireless and smart card systems and applications, in cooperation with Fujitsu, announces the launch of HIPERSIM, the advanced smart card operating system for Fujitsu's new HIFERRON chip platform. HIPERSIM provides a flexible, high-performance solution for secure, multi-application wireless and smart card programs. Fujitsu selected Mobile-Mind to design and develop the HIPERSIM solution in partnership with Fujitsu's Electronic Devices Group.
"The combined power of HIPERSIM and the HIFERRON chip platform moves smart cards squarely into the mainstream of computing," says Scott Guthery, the CTO of Mobile-Mind. "A key goal of multi-application smart cards is to provide seamless and integrated services to the cardholder. This is impossible if each application has to finish up its tasks before another can start. HIPERSIM is the first smart card operating system that lets multiple applications cooperate securely and in real-time."
Dr. Scott Guthery, who leads the HIPERSIM development team at Mobile-Mind, is an internationally recognized expert in smart card operating systems and mobile application architectures and development. He is an active participant and contributor to international telecommunications standards bodies and convenor of ETSI's Smart Card Project Architecture Working Group. Prior to founding Mobile-Mind, Guthery led the project team at Schlumberger that developed the world's first Java smart card in 1996 and was a leading contributor to Microsoft's development of the Windows smart card operating system in 1998. He holds multiple patents for his work in real-time data acquisition systems, smart card operating system innovations, and SIM application management.
According to Mr. Kazunari Shirai, President of the Electronic Devices Group (EDG) of Fujitsu Limited, "The HIPERSIM solution suite represents the ultimate in smart card software functionality and flexibility. With HIPERSIM we hope to make a significant contribution to the smart card industry."
Mr. Nobuyoshi Ebihara, General Manager of Marketing for EDG adds, "HIPERSIM is a major component of Fujitsu's strategy to become a global provider of the most advanced and secure smart card products and services. We are pleased to work with Mobile-Mind to achieve that goal."
