  • Patent number: 11129013
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for creation of a test tool that uses publicly available SIM information to generate and load a test eSIM profile to eUICC. The test profile mirrors the non-sensitive network attach mechanisms for any given MNO to work in a predefined lab environment with network emulator. The test eSIM profile is not limited to use with to the SIM's specific OS and hardware. Rather, the eSIM profile package format is a publicly defined file format designed to be interoperable in all eUICC capable mobile devices. The test tool described herein may therefore eliminate bottlenecks and external dependencies faced by manufacturers and MNOs by allowing manufacturers and MNOs to validate profiles, networks, and devices for a wide variety of configurations.
