Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and systems for providing an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) solution are disclosed. In one example, a method for providing an eSIM solution to enterprises includes receiving, by a network server operated by a network operator, a request from an enterprise device management system requesting an eSIM profile for a communication device. The method also includes transmitting, by the network server, information to a discovery server associated with the communication device to register the communication device with the discovery sever.
Claims17
A network system operated by a wireless service provider for providing an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) solution to enterprises, the network system comprising:
- a profile preparation server configured to prepare eSIM profiles for wireless communication devices;
- and
- a network server that comprises a processor, and a memory having processor-executable instructions stored thereon, the processor-executable instructions, upon execution by the processor, configures the processor to:
- receive, from an enterprise device management system, a request requesting an eSIM profile for a communication device managed by the enterprise device management system;
- notify, based on the request, the profile preparation server to prepare the eSIM profile for the wireless communication device;
- and
- transmit information to a discovery server associated with the communication device to register the wireless communication device with the discovery sever,
- wherein the information comprises a unique identifier of the wireless communication device and an address of the profile preparation server, and
- wherein the profile preparation server is configured to receive a second request from the wireless communication device to acquire the prepared eSIM profile for the wireless communication device.
A computer-implemented method for providing an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) solution, comprising:
- receiving, by a network server operated by a network operator, a request from an enterprise device management system requesting an eSIM profile for a communication device;
- transmitting, by the network server, information to a discovery server associated with the communication device to register the communication device with the discovery sever,
- wherein the information comprises a unique identifier of the communication device and an address of a profile preparation server configured to prepare eSIM profiles for communication devices;
- operating, by the network operator, the profile preparation server to prepare the eSIM profile for the communication device;
- and
- receiving, by the profile preparation server, a second request from the communication device to acquire the prepared eSIM profile for the communication device.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer readable code, the code, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to implement a method that comprises:
- receiving, by a network server operated by a network operator, a request from an enterprise device management system requesting an eSIM profile for a communication device;
- transmitting, by the network server, information to a discovery server associated with the communication device to register the communication device with the discovery sever,
- wherein the information comprises a unique identifier of the communication device and an address of a profile preparation server configured to prepare eSIM profiles for communication devices;
- operating, by the network operator, the profile preparation server to prepare the eSIM profile for the communication device;
- and
- receiving, by the profile preparation server, a second request from the communication device to acquire the prepared eSIM profile for the communication device.
