Abstract
An eSIM management framework can serve as an abstraction layer between various partners, mobile network operators, mobile-virtual network operators, and/or enterprises and SIM or eSIM vendors. The eSIM management framework can facilitate real-time SIM and/or eSIM profile provisioning to reduce consumption of network resources. In some examples, an eSIM management framework can facilitate just-in-time client-side provisioning, which can include on-demand generation of an appropriate SIM or eSIM profile.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more instructions executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- loading network information into a secure relational database;
- receiving a profile request from a subscription management application (SMA);
- calling a Data Preparation Platform (DP+) to assign an Integrated Circuit Card Identifier (ICCID) for the profile request;
- and
- loading details of the ICCID into a real-time memory network database for on-demand profile provisioning to fulfill the profile request.
5 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving a profile request;
- generating, in real time, a profile as a generated profile on demand responsive to the profile request;
- and
- sending, in real time, the generated profile for loading on a device.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- issuing a request for a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) or electronic Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM) profile tailored to a device;
- receiving an on-demand generated SIM or eSIM profile tailored to the device responsive to the request;
- and
- loading, in real time, the on-demand generated profile tailored to the device onto the device.
