System and method for registration of a network enabled location tracking device

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having programming instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a user equipment (UE) and at a system associated with a cellular network provider, a registration request to register a location tracking device with a cellular network of the cellular network provider;
• determining an account associated with the location tracking device based at least in part the UE;
• authorizing the location tracking device to access the cellular network based at least in part on the account;
• generating network access credentials for the location tracking device, the network access credentials being associated with the account;
• sending the network access credentials to the UE;
• receiving, from the location tracking device and at the system, a request to establish a connection to the cellular network, the request including the network access credentials;
• authenticating the network access credentials;
• and
• establishing, in response to authenticating the network access credentials, the connection between the cellular network and the location tracking device.

A system comprising:

• one or more servers comprising:
• one or more processors;
• and
• non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:
• receiving, from a user equipment (UE) and at a system associated with a cellular network provider, a registration request to register a location tracking device with a cellular network of the cellular network provider;
• determining an account associated with the location tracking device based at least in part the UE;
• authorizing the location tracking device to access the cellular network based at least in part on the account;
• generating network access credentials for the location tracking device, the network access credentials being associated with the account;
• sending the network access credentials to the UE;
• receiving, from the location tracking device and at the system, a request to establish a connection to the cellular network, the request including the network access credentials;
• authenticating the network access credentials;
• and
• establishing, in response to authenticating the network access credentials, the connection between the cellular network and the location tracking device.
