About SIM Card Connectors
SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) is a small smart card (25mm x 15mm x 0.76mm) designed to store subscribers identity, security, authentication and personal information for use in a mobile network terminal, such as a mobile phone, a portable GSM modem, or other access control terminals., e.g. an EPOS (Point of Sale) or a Satellite Receiver terminal. GCT currently provides 5 types of SIM card connectors. All of them are compatible with plug-in SIM cards that conforms to the GSM 11.11 standards.
