The new solution allows users to
easily activate their mobile subscription of their eSIM-enabled
consumer IoT devices
Austin, TX, 31 January
2018 - Gemalto, the world leader in digital security, announces
its new Subscription Management Discovery Service solution. This
initiative sets new standards of freedom for all users of
eSIM-connected devices, such as smartwatches, tablets, connected
PCs and many more. It simplifies the customer's experience of
connecting a device 'out-of-the-box' to the cellular network with
the offer of their choice. Users simply select their preferred
mobile operator, purchase a subscription which is instantly
downloaded and activated over-the-air.
Operated by Gemalto, and leveraging its SAS
certified environment, this service makes eSIM activation seamless
and works for any device. In the case of devices sold independently
from a mobile subscription, it removes the hassle of issuing a QR
code for activation and automatically gives users the freedom to
choose their network. For operator-branded devices, it
automatically connects to the operator's back-end to activate the
eSIM. This makes adoption of eSIM technology a lot simpler for
end-users.
What does Discovery Service offer
device makers and mobile operators?
Based on the mobile industry's specifications the 'Root
Discovery Service' concept, offered as a
