Gemalto has announced its new Subscription Management Discovery Service solution.
This initiative 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.
Based on the mobile industry’s specifications the ‘Root Discovery Service’ concept, offered as a cloud service * by Gemalto enables manufacturers to market innovative devices with a straightforward connectivity set-up experience including the choice of mobile subscription. Mobile operators will have the opportunity to expand their business across a new population of connected devices.
“The Discovery Service will boost eSIM adoption by OEMs and mobile operators as our solution facilitates the service deployment,” says Sherry Zameer, senior vice-president: IoT solutions for CISMEA region t Gemalto. “Part of our On-Demand Connectivity offer, this revolutionary service fits into our broader vision to enable a secure* and seamless digital customer journey.”
