Delivery formClearly dominant delivery form for volumes in industrial and automotive industry, why?
tape & reel
newdelivery form
Storage room optimization(3.000 pcs in one reel, ~500 pcs in a tray)
Less raw material
Higher throughput
Easier equipment set up, lessmaintenance work

What is new or who is new?
New silicon
New form factor
New businessmodel
Industrialisation process for the M2M SIM 7

A new silicon?
Newest technology…but stable
Long life, 10 years or more
Resistance to vibration and humidity
Frequent wite/erase of data

New business players in the value chain?
•Project based business
•Case by case is decided, who are the business partners
•New form factors may be introduced
•Further integration might occur at component level
