Verizon Wireless selected Gemalto, a digital security company, for its over-the-air (OTA) platform and LTE Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) – a new microprocessor smart card. The platform and the card are expected to help the company deliver a multimedia data connection, provide global roaming and add new UICC card applications on its wireless broadband network.
