Process for migration of an internet of things (iot) device

The process for migration of an Internet of Things (IoT) device, namely an eUICC device, from a first eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM1) to a second eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM2), said process comprising:

• a) the step of providing an eUICC device, in which (i) the configuration data of a first eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM1) and (ii) the configuration data of a Backup eSIM IoT Remote Manager (BeIM) are added, said Backup eSIM IoT Remote Manager (BeIM) being configured such that it is associated with the first eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM1), wherein a synchronization of the first eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM1) and the Backup eSIM IoT Remote Manager (BeIM) is continuously performed using a so-called ESep interface;
• and providing an IoT Profile Assistant (IPA);
• b) the step of migration by synchronizing data between the first eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM1) and a second eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM2), wherein said step of migration is triggered by the IoT Profile Assistant (IPA) which initiates the communication with the first eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM1) or said step of migration is triggered by the first eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM1) as an initial trigger which triggers the IoT Profile Assistant (IPA) to initiate the migration, wherein it is detected that a connection with the first eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM1) can be established;
• and/or
• c) the step of migration by synchronizing data between the Backup eSIM IoT Remote Manager (BeIM) and a second eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM2), wherein said step of migration is triggered by the IoT Profile Assistant (IPA) which, after having initiated the communication with the first eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM1) and detecting that a connection with the first eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM1) cannot be established, initiates the communication with the Backup eSIM IoT Remote Manager (BeIM).

• and providing an IoT Profile Assistant (IPA);
• b) the step in which the eUICC checks which eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM) is supposed to be informed, when one of the eSIM IoT Remote Managers (eIMs) has to perform one or more Profile State Management Operations (PSMOs), wherein an indication in the configuration data of each associated eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM) indicates whether the respective eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM) has to be kept in synchronization;
• c) the step in which the eUICC verifies which eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM) has the indication and in which the eUICC generates the notifications for each eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM) that needs to be kept in synchronization;
• d) the step in which the IoT Profile Assistant (IPA) retrieves all generated notifications and sends said notifications to all relevant eSIM IoT Remote Managers (eIMs) that are kept in synchronization.
