Abstract: Disclosed is a method in which a User Equipment will be able to register near instantly onto an available preferred roaming network, when the cellular radio of the UE is powered on. The method disclosed comprises of a roaming destination determined from a mobile boarding pass or input via User Interface of an Application installed on the Mobile Equipment or via UI on the Operating System of the ME, where the Application or OS compares the roaming destination with a PLMN list to obtain the preferred PLMN ID of that roaming destination which is selected and updated to specific files within the UICC. LTE and/or UMTS band information can also be obtained for the roaming destination and an MRU database updated to include the LTE and/or UMTS band information.

Abstract: A method of testing a video decoding device connected to an IPTV service, the IPTV service having a server, the method comprising tuning the video decoding device to a first channel of the IPTV service, the video decoding device receiving the first channel and decoding video from the first channel, the video decoding device collecting data concerning the decoded video and sending the data to the server, detuning the video decoding device from the first channel, the server analyzing the data to generate results; and the server displaying the results.

Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) that was registered on a non-preferred network operator may be forced to register immediately and seamlessly onto another available more preferred network operator by updating the EF_LOCI in the UICC with the MCCMNC (i.e. PLMN ID) of the preferred network operator and then sending the REFRESH—3G Session Reset command to the Mobile Equipment (ME).

Abstract: A secure server installation is provided that abstracts credit card identifiers from its server, network, application and database environments, thus reducing investment in securing, segregating and/or isolating these environments in their entirety. The secure server installation intercepts credit card transactions sent from front end applications to back end applications, and forwards tokens in replacement of credit card identifiers for processing by the back end applications. The same secure server installation can be applied for the encryption, storage (data-at-rest), transmission of private data within a network of other private or sensitive data not limited to social insurance numbers, drivers license numbers, phone numbers, bank account numbers, etc.
