INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANAGING PROVISIONING OF ONE OR MORE UNIVERSAL INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CARDS (UICCs)

An internet of things (IoT) device for managing provisioning of one or more universal integrated circuit cards (UICC), the internet of things (IoT) device comprising:

• one or more switch interfaces connected to at least one of:
• one or more first universal integrated circuit cards (UICC) and one or more second universal integrated circuit cards, wherein the one or more switch interfaces is configured to:
• determine whether the one or more first universal integrated circuit cards is connected in a first cellular network through one or more first radio frequency (RF) transceiver antennas of the one or more internet of things (IoT) devices;
• and
• upon determining, switch the one or more first universal integrated circuit cards connected in the first cellular network, to the one or more second universal integrated circuit cards, by at least one of:
• one or more subscriber identity module (SIM) buses and one or more virtual buses;
• one or more cellular chipsets configured to initiate a mobile network connection with one or more IoT platforms through the one or more second radio frequency (RF) transceiver antennas;
• one or more secure microcontrollers configured to receive one or more instructions from the one or more IoT platforms;
• one or more firmware configured to download one or more subscription profiles associated with the one or more second universal integrated circuit cards, from the one or more IoT platforms upon receiving the one or more instructions;
• one or more application-based cellular modules configured to execute the one or more subscription profiles in the one or more second universal integrated circuit cards, upon downloading the one or more subscription profiles from the one or more IoT platforms;
• and
• the one or more secure microcontrollers is further configured to reboot the mobile network connection to connect the one or more second universal integrated circuit cards of the one or more internet of things (IoT) devices with the one or more IoT platforms through a second cellular network based on the one or more subscription profiles configured in the one or more second universal integrated circuit cards.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored therein that when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause the one or more hardware processors to execute operations of:

• initiating a mobile network connection with one or more IoT platforms;
• receiving one or more instructions from the one or more IoT platforms;
• downloading one or more subscription profiles associated with one or more second universal integrated circuit cards of the one or more internet of things (IoT) devices, from the one or more IoT platforms upon receiving the one or more instructions;
• configuring the one or more subscription profiles in the one or more second universal integrated circuit cards of the one or more internet of things (IoT) devices, upon downloading the one or more subscription profiles from the one or more IoT platforms;
• and
• rebooting the mobile network connection to connect the one or more second universal integrated circuit cards of the one or more internet of things (IoT) devices with the one or more IoT platforms through a second cellular network based on the one or more subscription profiles configured in the one or more second universal integrated circuit cards of the one or more internet of things (IoT) devices.
