PARIS, February 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — TeleCable, a Spanish Mobile Virtual Network Operator, has chosen Oberthur Technologies, a world leader in the field of secure technologies, to administrate its mobile devices – SIM cards and phones – with its OTA(1) and device management platforms.

SIM cards provided by Oberthur Technologies can be managed and updated using an Application Loader & Manager platform in order to meet the most recent requirements of the market and to offer the best services to TeleCable’s customers.

In parallel, the Device Management platform enables mobile handsets to be configured automatically by inserting the TeleCable USIM in the handset, providing access to a large range of services such as Wap, MMS, SMS, GPRS and Email possible for end users.
