China Mobile has introduced the innovative CC2560A “super SIM”, the world's first with a RISC-V core and advanced capabilities for use in the Internet of Things.
Super SIM
Improved performance
CC2560A – An innovative IoT product that improves all aspects of traditional SIM cards. The new product is equipped with a large amount of memory, improved security algorithms and NFC support. Featuring a 120 MHz RISC-V core, it offers data transfer speeds 10 times faster than conventional SIM cards and approximately twice the speed of current high-performance super SIM cards for IoT solutions.
Advanced Memory
The built-in 2.5MB flash memory is also 10 times the storage capacity of standard SIM cards and twice that of other super SIM cards. This allows for expanded applications including electronic student cards, digital car keys, access control systems in public transport and other cases.
Political obstacles
However, further development of innovations based on RISC-V may face difficulties as US authorities try to limit China's access to this protocol.

I have big doubts about this “super SIM card” from China Mobile. Is it too much to put on such a small chip? I'm not sure it can handle the tasks of a digital car key or student ID. 🤔
София
Juan, don't be such a skeptic! 😄 Technologies are developing, and what seems impossible today will become a reality tomorrow. This SIM card has impressive capabilities thanks to RISC-V and can be used in a wide range of applications. Imagine how convenient it is to have one digital key for everything!
Фриц
Yes, the idea of combining several functions in one SIM card sounds tempting. 💻 But I'm worried about the security issue. Will this super SIM card be secure enough against hacking and data theft? Remember the recent data leak scandal?
Джузеппе
Have you ever thought that this super SIM card could be a spy device to spy on users? 🕵️♂️ Chinese authorities are known for their control over the Internet and censorship. I don't trust this technology.
Збигнев
You guys are being overly dramatic! 😂 This is just a SIM card with advanced capabilities. Of course, there are risks, but is technical progress possible without them? I'm willing to try something new if it really makes my life easier.
Ганс
To be honest, I don't see anything revolutionary in this technology. 😒 There is a lot of hype about a regular SIM card with slightly improved characteristics. This isn't such big news these days.
Марьям
Hans, you are too cynical! 🙄 Yes, this may be an evolutionary solution rather than a revolutionary one, but it opens up new possibilities for the Internet of Things. Imagine how convenient it will be to manage all your devices from one SIM card!
Збигнев
Exactly! 👆 I can already see how this technology makes my life easier. 😎 One SIM card for accessing public transport, paying bills and logging into social networks - isn’t that great?
