SIM Application Guide
Cellular Wireless Data or SIM cards are a critical component associated with the
NewStream transmitter. A Subscriber Identity Module or SIM is an integrated circuit that
stores the International Mobile Subscriber Identity [IMSI] and key used to identify and
authenticate subscribers on mobile telephony devices.
The removable SIM Card can be transferred between different mobile devices.
NewStream uses up to six mini-SIM cards which are the same thickness as full-size
SIM cards but their length and width are 25 mm × 15 mm [0.98 x 0.59 inches]. For
scale, the original SIM card has dimensions that are similar to that of a typical credit
card. Refer below to the relative size of the mini-SIM.
