Sim provisioning

A telematics control arrangement configured for remote subscriber identification module (SIM) profile provisioning, the telematics control arrangement comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to cause the telematics control arrangement to:
• establish a wireless connection with one or more SIM profile management arrangements;
• provide a request to the one or more SIM profile management arrangements to obtain a new set of SIM profiles from at least one of the one or more SIM profile management arrangements;
• retrieve, from modems in the telematics control arrangement, location information for the request;
• and
• obtain a plurality of SIM profiles from at least one of the one or more SIM profile management arrangements, the plurality of SIM profiles are appropriate for all modems or for a particular modem of the telematics control arrangement and are selected based on the location information retrieved for the telematics control arrangement, the capabilities of wireless communication resources comprise modem capabilities, and
• each SIM profile comprising personalized SIM information for communication in at least one wireless communication network of a respective service provider, the obtaining comprising:
• transmitting information to the at least one SIM profile management arrangement for SIM profile provisioning, the information being indicative of the location information for the telematics control arrangement;
• receiving information from the at least one SIM profile management arrangement identifying the plurality of SIM profiles;
• and
• downloading the plurality of SIM profiles from the at least one SIM profile management arrangement.

A method of a subscriber identification module (SIM) profile management arrangement for remote SIM profile provisioning to a telematics control arrangement comprisable in a wireless device, the method comprising:

• determining a need for SIM profile provisioning to the telematics control arrangement based on a request, received from the telematics control arrangement, for a new set of SIM profiles from the SIM profile management arrangement;
• selecting a plurality of SIM profiles representing a most appropriate set of SIM profiles from a totality of SIM profiles registered in the SIM profile management arrangement, the plurality of SIM profiles are appropriate for all modems or for a particular modem of the telematics control arrangement, the selecting is based on location information for the telematics control arrangement, and based on capabilities of wireless communication resources accessible to the telematics control arrangement, and the capabilities of wireless communication resources comprise modem capabilities;
• and
• causing transmission of information to the telematics control arrangement identifying the selected plurality of SIM profiles.

A subscriber identification module (SIM) profile management arrangement (SPMA) configured for remote subscriber identification module (SIM) profile provisioning to a telematics control arrangement comprisable in a wireless device, the SPMA comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to cause the SPMA to
• determine a need for SIM profile provisioning to a telematics control arrangement based on a request, received from the telematics control arrangement, for a new set of SIM profiles from the SPMA;
• select a plurality of SIM profiles representing a most appropriate set of SIM profiles from a totality of SIM profiles registered in the SPMA, the plurality of SIM profiles are appropriate for all modems or for a particular modem of the telematics control arrangement, the selecting is based on location information for the telematics control arrangement, and based on capabilities of wireless communication resources accessible to the telematics control arrangement, the capabilities of wireless communication resources comprise modem capabilities;
• and
• cause transmission of information to the telematics control arrangement identifying the selected plurality of SIM profiles.
