Reusing subscriber identity module information for radio access technology conversion

A method in a conversion node configured to communicate with a device, the device including a first memory associated with a first subscriber profile, the conversion node comprising a second memory, the method comprising:

• provisioning a first communication link with the device;
• obtaining the first subscriber profile via the provisioned first communication link;
• provisioning a second communication link with a cellular network based at least on the first subscriber profile, the first subscriber profile being unsupported by the cellular network for direct communication between the device and the cellular network;
• and
• communicating, via the second communication link, data associated with the device to the cellular network.

A system, the system comprising:

• at least one device, the at least one device comprising:
• a first memory associated with a first subscriber profile;
• a conversion node configured to communicate with the at least one device, the conversion node comprising:
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one second memory storing a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
• provision a first communication link with the at least one device;
• obtain the first subscriber profile via the provisioned first communication link;
• provision a second communication link with a cellular network based at least on the first subscriber profile, the first subscriber profile being unsupported by the cellular network for direct communication between the at least one device and the cellular network;
• and
• cause transmission, via the second communication link, of data associated with the at least one device.
