This move by Intel is just the tip of iceberg. The impact on mobile telephone examination, analysis and evidence will be significant.
Dual-SIM Dual-Standby (DSDS)
Addressing the emerging Dual-SIM market, Intel Mobile Communications, a leading vendor of advanced mobile semiconductors solutions for handheld devices, introduced the XMM™ 2138 platform supporting Dual-SIM Dual-Standby (DSDS) operation.
Dual-SIM phones can natively work with two SIM cards, both of which may be active at the same time. While most of these active Dual-SIM phones have two transceivers, the new DSDS generation provides the ability to have two active SIM simultaneously using only one transceiver, with related cost savings. A DSDS mobile enables the functionality of two mobiles in one device whether for separating business and private operation or when roaming. Just one convenient and compact handset offers the advantage of different calling plans from service providers to save costs, while frequent travelers benefit from the greater coverage.
