PARIS, February 12 -- 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. This key solution differentiates TeleCable from the competition and increases ARPU(2) due to data traffic growth.

"With Oberthur Technologies' tailor-made solutions, TeleCable can offer the best technology and a wide range of services to its clients while achieving time-to-market," said Juan Garcia-Conde, General Manager at TeleCable.

"The commitment and the collaboration of Oberthur Technologies' French and Spanish teams have enabled TeleCable's successful deployment. Anticipating upcoming services and new applications, Oberthur Technologies has reinforced its strategy to deliver an end-to-end offer, from cards to management solutions, in Spain. This partnership with TeleCable is part of Oberthur Technologies' ambition to deliver solutions to MVNOs," said Eric Duforest, Managing Director Europe, Card Systems Division at Oberthur Technologies.
