Tim Evans (Vice Chair ETSI SCP at ETSI) mentioned at message board at Linkedin (13.03.2010):
“I am pleased to inform you that ETSI SCP agreed the new VQFN8 SIM UICC form factor last week as ETSI TS 102 671.”
Remark of the author of the blog:
VQFN8 SIM cards are an interesting technology to create M2M applications like GSM/GPS trackers or medical applications based on GSM / UMTS / 3G smaller and safer.
