Abstract: Connection settings used by a mobile device to connect to a packet data network, e.g. the internet, are stored in a subscriber identity module (SIM) card. This enables connection settings to be pre-loaded on a SIM card, allowing a mobile device to immediately connect to the internet without manual configuration. The mobile device's connection settings may also be updated by a mobile network operator via an over the air profile update. For example, the operator may supply a device with connection settings the first time it connects to the network. Connection settings may be stored in one or more files within the SIM profile, and may be updated via a remote file management operation. Embedded-SIM (eSIM) profiles may also store connection settings in profile metadata, which may be updated via a metadata update operation.

Abstract: An internet of things (“IoT”) device is disclosed that can be authenticated on a wireless local area network (“WLAN”) without human intervention. The IoT device can also authenticate itself with a network service without human intervention. In order to enable this functionality, data identifying a service set identifier (“SSID”) used by the WLAN, a digital certificate for use in authenticating on the WLAN, and a digital certificate for use in authenticating with a network service are stored in the IoT device at the time it is manufactured. The digital certificate for authenticating on the WLAN is stored at an authentication server and information about the digital certificate for use in authenticating with the network service is stored at the network service. The IoT device can use the SSID to connect to the WLAN and use the digital certificates to authenticate with the authentication server and the network service, respectively.

Abstract: Mobile devices are provisionally registered when the mobile device does not have an active subscription profile. A communications session is established with an access network of a mobile communications network. Identification data for the computing device is sent to the access network. A connectivity configuration is used to allow the computing device to establish a limited connection on the mobile communications network. Using the limited connection, an eSIM profile is received. The eSIM profile is activated and the device is connected to an associated mobile network.
