Difference between M2M and ConsumerIn addition to architectural differences, which will be discussed later, the maindifference between M2M and Consumer is the right to change subscription.Consumer: Consumer has the full right to order,activate, delete, .etc profiles The device usually does not come with apreinstalled bootstrap profile Profile installed in 30 seconds or less Profile download can be done using anyIP based communication (e.g, WiFi, MobileNetwork, .etc)M2M: Only OEM or (its representative) has theright to order, activate, delete, .etc profiles Device comes with a pre-installedbootstrap profile Profile installation takes minutes to hours Profile download can be done only usinga Mobile NetworkWearablesCarsTablets andsmartphonesSmart MeteringDevicesLaptopsOthers (PoS andMedical Devices)

What is an Embedded SIM (eSIM)eSIM or eUICC is a programmableSIM that can be seamlessly andsecurely provisioned over the air.Enabler for faster deployment andadoption of Internet of Thing (IoT)Facilitates easy switch betweenMNOs, allowing consumers toselect the MNO that offers best dealeSIM can be removable or solderedinto the device at time ofmanufacturing (*)(*)Most M2M devices willuse eSIM.Not all devices must use embedded SIMs.Some consumer electronics might have removable butreprogrammable SIMs. This may prove a transition solution,allowing the ecosystem to move smoothly from the currenttraditional removable SIM to embedded SIMs without majorchanges in mobile network operators’ operations.

Why Introducing eSIMThe key driver for theintroduction of eSIM technologyis the rapid rise connected cars (e.g., BMW,Toyota, .etc), smart utility meters (e.g.,smart meters for smartmeters for electricity, water,.etc), and consumer electronics(wearable gadgets likesmartwatches and fitnesstracker)with cellular connectivity.Source: Beecham Research Ltd.eSIM offers several advantages:Smallness:Sizes of wearable gadgets are reduced for comfort and styleRuggedness:Stand up shock, humidity, sweat and so onIntegrity:No crack open of device to replace SIM cardIndependent Connectivity: provision and change service providers OTA

Key BenefitsConsumersMore choice ofdevicesMultiple devices connectedMaintain customerfreedom of choiceAny subscription from anyOperator for any deviceUser controlledConsumers are in charge,remote management ofsubscriptionsMNOsOverall costreductionLess paper. Less stock. Lesscomplexity leads to moreproductivity and profitabilityNew revenue streamsMore connected devices, moretouchpoints with consumers.Long term flexibilityMNOs are more agile and futureproof when a change ofsubscription is needed in the field

High-Level Architecture for Consumer DevicesLPA (Local Profile Assistant)is located on the device andtakes end user s orders (e.g.,profile download andexecution of next profilemanagement actions on theeUICC)Data Preparation packages, encrypts, andbinds profiles to therespective EID andsecurely downloadsthese profiles onto theeUICC using the ES8 interface.The end user is the one whotriggers the RSP procedure.Source: COMPRION

Deployment Scenarios (continued)MNOOption III: MNO Data centerSM-DP SM-DPConsumersSM-SRM2MMNO Data CenterSM-SROther MNO or OEMNon-MNO Data CenterPros: Full control of the provisioningsystem, thereby avoid any potentialsecurity issueCons: For security purpose, Data Centerneeds to be certified by GSMA. This costsmoney, requires proper training for stafffrom security point of view, and alsorequires time (about a year)In case SM-SR must be hosted by OEM (e.g., BMW has its own SM-SR)In case of SM-SR Change (e.g., transferring the ISD-R keys after end of contract)
