Definitions

  • the present application relates generally to communication networks and, more particularly, to techniques for provisioning mobile devices in an operator-neutral manner.
  • an article of manufacture comprises a processor-readable storage medium that stores one or more software programs which when executed by a processor perform the above-mentioned steps for the given method.
  • M2M devices can enable many different types of applications.
  • application-specific M2M devices may include, but are not limited to, health monitors, utility management meters, fleet management tags, vending machines, and point-of-sale terminals.
  • M2M devices can operate over a publicly-accessible wide area communication network such as a cellular network operated by a cellular network operator (by way of example only, Verizon, AT&T or Sprint).
  • a cellular network operator by way of example only, Verizon, AT&T or Sprint.
  • M2M devices also need to be provisioned with some initial subscription profile in order to operate with a particular network operator.
  • an eUICC and an eUSIM respectively denote an embedded UICC and an embedded USIM (embedded meaning that they are not intended to be removable from the mobile device once installed).
  • Embodiments of the invention allow devices with initially neutral eSIMs/eUICCs to obtain network connectivity for bootstrapping security sessions to load their initial or subsequent subscription profiles. This can allow the manufacturers of the network elements with eSIMs/eUICCs to be able to lower the initial cost of the devices by using economy of scale to produce operator/locale-neutral devices. The mobile device may thus subsequently be provided with identification and security information.
  • the access point name APN restriction can be set to Provisioning APN.
  • APN identifies an IP PDN with which a mobile data user wants to communicate.
  • an APN may also be used to define the type of service.
  • processor as used herein is intended to include one or more processing devices, including a central processing unit (CPU) or other processing circuitry, including but not limited to one or more signal processors, one or more integrated circuits, and the like.
  • memory as used herein is intended to include memory associated with a processor or CPU, such as RAM, ROM, a fixed memory device (e.g., hard drive), or a removable memory device (e.g., diskette or CDROM).
  • Embodiments of the inventions may be implemented in other specific apparatus and/or methods.
  • the described embodiments are to be considered in all respects as only illustrative and not restrictive.
  • the scope of the invention is indicated by the appended claims rather than by the description and figures herein. All changes that come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.
  • program storage devices e.g., digital data storage media, which are machine or computer readable and encode machine-executable or computer-executable programs of instructions, wherein said instructions perform some or all of the steps of said above-described methods.
  • the program storage devices may be, e.g., digital memories, magnetic storage media such as a magnetic disks and magnetic tapes, hard drives, or optically readable digital data storage media.
  • the embodiments are also intended to cover computers programmed to perform said steps of the above-described methods.
