Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for activating an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) device. One method may include initiating at least one device comprising an eSIM; connecting the eSIM to at least one of an entry point of a Mobile Network Operator (MNO) and an entitlement configuration server (ECS); activating, authenticating, and/or authorizing the eSIM; and connecting the eSIM with a cellular data service or a data network of the MNO.

Abstract: Examples include solutions to onboard and seamlessly grant access to a network device to connect to an enterprise network. A request including enterprise credentials is received to access the enterprise network. The enterprise credentials are verified with an enterprise authentication server. A mapping between the device and the verified enterprise credentials are stored at an entitlement configuration server. The entitlement configuration server passes the enterprise credentials to a wireless controller upon receiving a request from the wireless controller for the device to access the enterprise network.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an aerial vehicle with a horizontal tailplane disposed along a bottom edge of a vertical tailfin. Namely, the aerial vehicle includes an empennage attached to the fuselage via a tail boom and a tail coupling. The empennage includes a vertical tailfin that extends below the tail coupling. The empennage also includes a tube arranged along a leading edge of the vertical tailfin and below the tail coupling of the aerial vehicle. The empennage additionally includes one or more rotating actuators and a horizontal tailplane. The horizontal tailplane is coupled to the tail via the tube and includes a continuous leading edge and a cutout. The one or more rotating actuators are configured rotate the horizontal tailplane about an axis of the tube. At least a portion of the vertical tailfin is configured to pass through the cutout.

Abstract: Systems including tethers with one or more attached airfoil tails are described. Some systems include reversibly deformable struts that attach the tails to a tether to allow for stretch of the tether when the tether is under tension. The form of the tails may vary along the length of the tether to account for different aerodynamic design considerations.
