> What means?
> The new card allows to separate SIMs from the card itself,
> in the following ways:
> * connect one SIM to one GSM engine across PCI bus
>   (for example if you want to move SIMs across modules
>    locally)
> * do hardware bridging of SIMs and GSM engines across
>   same board (for example use SIM1 with GSM3)
> 
> AND the most important feature is:
> 
> * put your SIMs into a SIM server and distribute your
>   asterisk gateways around with GSM cards in it and no
>   local SIMs
> 
> With that you can centrally manage SIMs in a secure area,
> move them between gateways without the need to swap
> SIMs on each gateway or having gateways in the same
> location as the SIMs are.
> 
> Software is ready and we're already in production.

What functionality does this provide that cannot be had using
chan_cellphone and a supported Bluetooth enabled cell?

Thanks,
