JCN Newswire (英)
China Mobile Communications Corporation and NTT DOCOMO, INC.
announced today that they have jointly developed the world's first
multi-vendor embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) system
within their commercial environments based on the GSMA's Remote
Provisioning Architecture for Embedded UICC3.1 (GSMAv3.1)
standard.
The system enables interoperability between the two carriers' eSIM
systems, which adopt different vendors' subscription management
platforms. Previously, for different carriers to reprogram the same
eSIM, they had to adopt an eSIM system of one vendor. The new
multi-vendor eSIM system announced today incorporates subscription
management platforms of two different vendors - one by G+D Mobile
Security that DOCOMO has adopted and the other by GEMALTO, which
China Mobile has adopted.
China Mobile and DOCOMO have been jointly developing IoT
technologies and related business based on the Strategic
Cooperation Framework Agreement (SCFA). The new multi-vendor eSIM
system is one of the results of this agreement.
Going forward, China Mobile and DOCOMO will continue developing
services to enable corporate customers' products exported from
Japan to China, such as automobiles, industrial equipment and
agricultural machines, to smoothly switch from a Japanese carrier
to Chinese carrier without replacing their SIMs.
The new multi-vendor eSIM system for IoT will be demonstrated at
China Mobile's booth during Mobile World Congress Shanghai 2017
from June 28 to July 1.
