Introduction

Remote provisioning technology eliminates the need to physically replace SIM cards and enables flexible switching of communication profiles remotely.

As IoT expands, this technology is being used in a variety of fields and is expected to become even more important in the future.

In this column, we will take a closer look at the areas in which it will expand.

Check out the recap so far here

• What is remote provisioning?
• What is GSMA and SGP32?

Expanding the fields of application

Remote provisioning is driving innovation in areas such as:

• ・Smart City:

Infrastructure equipment such as streetlights, traffic signals, and garbage trucks will select the optimal communication method depending on their location and communication conditions, contributing to improved efficiency and sustainability throughout the city.

• ・Agriculture:

Sensors and drones installed in remote locations can switch profiles depending on weather conditions and the communication environment, enabling real-time data collection and analysis, accelerating the realization of smart agriculture.

• ・Logistics and mobility:

Vehicles and cargo moving across borders will automatically connect to local communication networks, preventing communication disruptions and improving tracking and navigation accuracy.

Collaboration with AI

In the future, it is expected that the possibilities for remote provisioning will be further expanded through collaboration with AI.

AI analyzes communication status, costs, security risks, etc. in real time,

Automatically selecting and switching to the optimal communication profile is expected to lead to smarter and more efficient communication management.

Security and Standardization

For remote provisioning to become widespread, it is essential to ensure safety and compatibility.

• GSMA standard-compliant encryption and authentication technology

The security of communications is ensured through encryption technology and authentication processes based on international standards.

• -Ensuring global compatibility and safety

Collaboration with telecommunications carriers around the world is now possible, facilitating the global deployment of devices.

• ・Compliant with legal regulations and privacy protection

The system is designed to comply with each country's legal systems and privacy protection regulations, creating an environment where it can be implemented with peace of mind.

Summary

Remote provisioning enables remote management of SIM cards, and its use will expand in a variety of fields, including smart cities and logistics.

In addition, while collaboration with AI will further optimize communications and enable more efficient communication management, it will be essential to ensure safety and compatibility through security technology and standardization based on GSMA standards.
