System and method for network initiated embedded subscriber identity module profile changes

A method of dynamically switching between wireless communication networks at an information handling system, comprising:

• with a processor executing a network interface device:
• initiating communication with a default wireless communication network having a first embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) profile associated therewith;
• determining that the signal strength associated with the default wireless communication network is not sufficient to maintain a sufficient quality of service (QoS) to service the transmission of data from an application being executed on the information handling system;
• selecting another signal associated with a second wireless communication network meeting a threshold signal level;
• and
• sending a request to a wireless communication network switching utility at a core communication network notifying of a switch from the first eSIM profile for the default wireless communication network to an eSIM profile for the second wireless communication network and to request initiation of roaming services between the default wireless communication network and the second wireless communication network during the eSIM profile switching;
• and
• switching to the eSIM profile of the second wireless communication network using an eSIM profile switching module executed by the processor while roaming, if available, between the default wireless communication network and the second wireless communication network during the switch between eSIM profiles to avoid service interruption.

An information handling system for switching embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) profiles, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory;
• network interface device (NID) to communicatively couple the information handling system to a core communication network via access to any of a plurality of wireless communication networks, where the NID is communicatively coupled to a first wireless communication network;
• an eSIM profile switching module to:
• request, via the NID, from a wireless communication network switching utility at the core communication network to roam between the first wireless communication network and a second wireless communication network during a switch from the first wireless communication network associated with a first eSIM profile to a second wireless communication network associated with a second eSIM profile, where the switch is based on a detection from the NID that the first wireless communication network has insufficient quality of service (QoS) to service the transmission of data from an application being executed on the information handling system;
• and
• switch communication to the second wireless communication network upon receiving a signal from the core communication network to switch eSIM profiles by switching to the second eSIM profile associated with the second wireless communication network at the information handling system while roaming, if available, between the first wireless communication network and the second wireless communication network during the switch between eSIM profiles to avoid service interruption.
