Network operator's most frequently asked questions on consumer eSIM
In this video we answer network operator’s most popular questions regarding the growing consumer eSIM market. Are you looking to capture new eSIM users on your network but have a few questions? Here are some of the frequently asked questions regarding consumer eSIM remote provisioning and how to get started: What devices work with your solution? All consumer devices with GSMA-compliant eSIMs – this is pretty much all your devices you see on the market today including those from leading manufacturers such as Apple, Samsung etc. Can you provide a demo before I go ahead? Sure, we can provide a demo with our devices or your own devices using our own network connectivity so you can see exactly how things work. Do I need a GSMA-approved hosted solution? No, but a GSMA-certified solution is recommended to guarantee a fully interoperable and future-proof solution. Do I need to work with an Apple-approved partner to connect Apple devices? To be able to provision Apple devices, you do not need to work with an Apple-approved partner, however, if you would like to use the Entitlement Server then this is a requirement which our solution provides. Do I need an Entitlement Server? This is not required for iPhones but it is mandatory for provisioning the Apple Watch. Can subscribers use the same number across devices? Yes, this simply works the same as it does currently using the existing number portability process. What happens if the subscriber deletes the profile? Once the profile is deleted it returns to the secure profile pool database. For the customer to reactivate the profile they will need to contact the operator so the DP+ can be updated with the matching ID and the existing QR code can be re-used or a new QR code assigned. Can a subscriber use the same QR code to re-download a profile, for example, to a second device? Whilst this is not part of the GSMA specification it is possible and can be done based on your requirement, however, it’s important to note that a profile can only be active on one device at a time, therefore, it must be deactivated on the previous device first. Can I restrict users to just my network profile? No, GSMA-compliant eSIMs enable multiple profiles to be provisioned. Is your solution secure? Absolutely, we are certified by the GSMA’s Security Accreditation Scheme and ISO 27001 and guarantee the highest level of information security having securely managed over ten billion connections without a single security breach. Can I have dual suppliers? Yes. Workz offer a non-proprietary and full interoperable solution enabling you to fulfil dual or multiple supplier functionality just as you would for traditional UICC SIM requirements. Do you offer remote SIM provisioning for M2M eSIMs? Absolutely, we offer a specialised M2M solution to cater to the M2M architecture and its requirements with profile development and testing, a cloud-hosted SM-DP and SM-SR platform with remote SIM provisioning services.

Workz M2M Remote SIM Provisioning Architecture
Here is a quick introduction to the M2M Remote SIM Provisioning Architecture and its key components: eUICC. Starting with the eSIM or more specifically its software the eUICC - This is a secure element that contains one or more network profiles. Each profile enables the eUICC to function in the same way as a traditional removable SIM and connect to a mobile network. Mobile Network. The eUICC contains profiles from Mobile Network Operators which allow the SIM to connect to their cellular networks. EUM. The eUICC is produced by an eUICC manufacturer or EUM who is responsible for the secure upload of the eUICC’s data to the SIM. SM-DP. Subscription Management – Data Preparation is the activity in which network profiles are prepared, packaged and stored SM-SR. Subscription Management – Secure Routing is the activity in which profiles are remotely managed on a device. Meaning they are added, enabled, disabled or deleted. All these components need to be considered to effectively and securely manage eSIM devices over-the-air. hello@workz.com https://www.workz.com/iot-solutions/remote-provisioning/
Get IoT connected - Why eSIM? (Prezi)
Get IoT connected So why eSIM? The world is changing, and technology is changing with it. Mobile loT is growing at an exponential rate, with the global machine-to-machine sector alone expected to be worth 93 billion dollars by 2022. This growth is being driven by new technologies such as 5G and eSIM. Together, these technologies will make devices smarter, more efficient, more effective and significantly more valuable than ever before. Cutting edge technologies, such as 5G, will enable data to be transmitted at far higher speeds and at far greater volumes. Another critical emerging technology is the embedded SIM or eSIM. The eSIM simplifies mobile connectivity and brings it to a far wider range of devices such as cars, smart energy, and health monitoring. eSIM technology is revolutionary in that it is now embedded into next-generation devices. With no need to open up a device and swap out plastic SIM cards, it virtualises the physical SIM and makes switching mobile network operators a great deal easier. So how does eSIM technology help device manufacturers and service providers? eSIMs offer multiple speed, cost and flexibility benefits that traditional SIMs can’t match. They are also easier to produce, easier to manage and enhance device functionality and create the potential for a host of new value-added services. Here’s the techy bit: • It is up to 98% smaller - saving critical space within the device. • It’s considerably lighter weighing nearly 20 times less • It has a lifespan ten times greater allowing up to 1 million rewrites of its memory • It’s far more durable, withstanding extreme temperatures from as low as minus 40 to over 100 Degrees Celsius • It’s also a great deal stronger with high shock resistance allowing it to perform in the most demanding operational conditions. • As it’s embedded within the device, it enables a fully waterproof product • And offers greater tamper-resistance Most impressively, the eSIM software is designed to simplify the connectivity process, giving OEMs and service providers maximum control, allowing devices to connect to any mobile network operator in the world. With universal out-of-the-box global connectivity, manufacturers and providers no longer need to organise specific network connectivity agreements prior to market launch. This can save a huge amount of time and cost in product distribution and stock management with a one-size-fits-all solution. This individual unit can be sold anywhere in the world. Mobile IoT creates a huge opportunity …which is where we come in. hello@workz.com https://www.workz.com/iot-solutions/m2m-esim/

Digitise with eSIM - Why eSIM (Prezi)
Digitise with eSIM So why eSIM? The eSIM is a global specification by the GSMA which enables remote SIM provisioning of any mobile device. Users no longer need to change the physical SIM to change network. The eUICC software allows the SIM to connect to any network with profile additions, updates and deletions all managed over the air. Notably this means the user now has the chance to connect directly to a local operator network when travelling and device manufacturers no longer need to provision their devices for each specific country which offers multiple speed, cost and flexibility benefits. The eSIM chip itself is also highly attractive to manufacturers as it is smaller, lighter, more durable and can be sealed directly into devices, allowing them to be fully waterproof. This means eSIM brings mobile connectivity to a wider range of devices such as smart watches, fitness bands, portable health systems, drones, smart glasses - you name it. As a result, SIM penetration is set to grow exponentially far beyond the single SIM most users have in their mobile phone today. A market report by Counterpoint has estimated that the eSIM market will grow from 364 million devices shipped in 2018 to nearly 2 billion by 2025 with hyper-adoption now expected following the launch of several flagship consumer devices such as the latest smartphones and watches by the likes of Samsung and Apple. More and more eSIM devices are expected to follow soon. So what are the benefits of the eSIM to the network operator? According to the GSMA, this technology gives operators greater means to expand their businesses into emerging markets such as automotive, wearables and consumer electronics. SIM card distribution time and costs will be eliminated, and eSIMs will enable new distribution models for devices and for marketing of subscriptions. It’s probably also worth considering: New eSIM device owners are high ARPU subscribers, By offering this enhanced service you can reinforce your public perception as a market leader, And there is an opportunity to expand your in-country roaming revenues with a large proportion of travellers who were once silent roamers due to speed, connectivity, and cost now having these barriers removed with easy access to a local network. All of these factors create a huge opportunity for the operator …which is where we come in. hello@workz.com https://www.workz.com/mobile-solutions/remote-provisioning/

Digitise with eSIM - Get started (Prezi)
Digitise with eSIM Get started What else should you consider? Interoperability and future-readiness. Our remote provisioning solution is SAS-certified meaning universal compatibility across other systems and devices. As all leading device manufacturers such as Apple, Samsung, Google etc. use SAS-certified chips it is imperative that all components of the ecosystem such as the eUICC and hosting platform adhere to this standard to guarantee interoperability. In addition to GSMA specifications, we are compliant with all leading SIM standards to ensure interoperability now and in the future. What’s more, our server components have also undergone comprehensive interoperability testing on all key market devices. How long does it take to get up and running? Going live using your existing subscriber registration process and systems with a QR-code-based activation mechanism can take literally only a couple of weeks. This involves providing the subscriber with a QR code that directs them to a unique weblink to download their profile. The QR code is made up of a string of data, typically including a Matching ID. The SM DP+ Platform will generate these IDs either in real time via eSIM profile ordering or in batch for storage on an operator’s fulfilment backend. The subscriber registers at the point of sale where they obtain a printed QR code and ICCID barcode. The ICCID barcode is scanned by the retailer to record the subscription on the operators back-end systems. The QR-code can then be scanned by the subscriber to activate an online link to their profile. Once they download the profile from this link they are free to activate it. This type of set up is a standard mechanism in the GSMA specification and is the fastest route to market for an operator as it uses existing systems and processes enabling you to quickly capture critical market share ahead of competitors. Once your eSIM offering is up and running, we can support full integration with the DP+, self-care portals and apps, Local Profile Assistant, Discovery Service and all your business support systems providing extensive APIs and testing. Again, we recommend advanced integration to be treated as a phase two implementation to ensure subscription sales and market share are maximised. So how do you get started? For the QR code-based provisioning approach we only require the following: the Input file, Network authentication keys and Electrical profile. From here going live is a short three-step process which means we can get you up and running within days. One. Test profile generation: Once you have provided the input files, network authentication keys and electrical profile, you can expect us to start the profile development and testing phase. We will provide profile generation, output files for network provisioning and QR codes for testing. Two. Testing and user acceptance: You will receive test profiles and QR codes to test on your network and devices. Three. Go live: Following your acceptance of the test profile, we will then release live profiles and supporting activation codes so you can enable users to connect their eSIM devices to your network. We offer an extremely efficient low-cost, pay-as-you-go model with no setup costs, equipment or other CAPEX expenses required. Billing is done quarterly and based only on the number of profiles downloaded so you pay only for what you use. Your success determines our success and we are here to help you succeed with comprehensive maintenance and support which we can customize based on your requirements. All our packages include remote technical support to ensure you enjoy a hassle-free market launch. So there you have it, we offer a highly secure, interoperable, future proof remote SIM provisioning solution with one of the most competitive pricing models and fastest time to market available.

How to breakdown mobile IoT jargon
3.5 billion, that’s how many mobile IoT devices will be connected by 2023. Everybody’s talking about it, few understand it - until now. How to breakdown mobile IoT jargon: Embedded Universal Integrated Chip is the secure software that allows hosting and switching of multiple subscription profiles Over-The-Air. Remote SIM Provisioning is a platform that enables loading and management of profiles remotely Over-The-Air. Subscription Manager Data Preparation is responsible for preparing, storing and protecting operator profiles. Subscription Manager Secure Routing is responsible for downloading, enabling, disabling, and deletion of operator profiles. Application Programming Interface is the ‘unsung hero’ that enables communication between two different systems. Join our IoT masterclass Register today at workz.com/masterclass
Top 4 most common issues that operators face with suppliers & how to avoid them
Did you know that the minimum cost to a network operator for a single customer service complaint is $1? When dealing with such large volumes these costs can soon add up. Here are the top 4 most common issues that operators face with suppliers and a guide on how to avoid them. by Richelle Wiley - Chief Operations Officer Number 4 - Secure shipping The aim is to ensure risk-free transportation of goods that fits the requirement therefore focussing on the climate, the handling methods, etc. Number 3 - Stock-outs & late deliveries (Demand Planning) Through effective demand planning and direct control of freight forwarding, stock outs or late deliveries can be avoided. Number 2 - Missing or mixed up data labels During fulfilment, data can be electronically paired to ensure that corresponding items are matched correctly. Likewise, in packing, advanced serial tracking systems can ensure the correct boxes are in the correct parent container in the correct order with the correct label. And number 1 - Missing products Advanced quality control and verification systems enable each product to be tracked through each stage of production, fulfilment and packing to ensure every product reaches its final destination.

The impact of eSIM & eUICC for network operators - What’s an operator’s best bet in IoT part 1/3
Consumer vs M2M – What’s an operator’s best bet in IoT? This is part 1 of a 3-video series looking at the eSIM and eUICC. The eSIM has several characteristics that device manufacturers find highly beneficial: it is smaller, lighter, offers greater durability and can be sealed directly into devices, allowing them to be fully waterproof. The eUICC software allows the SIM to connect to any network with profile additions, updates and deletions managed over the air. We believe that these advantages will stimulate an uptake in the adoption of these technologies in the next 1-2 years, particularly, in the automotive and fleet tracking verticals. Nonetheless, McKinsey & Company has reported that the traditional SIM card will still dominate the market for the next 5 years at least. The reasons for this are twofold: firstly, legacy technology is unable to be physically adjusted for an eSIM and, secondly, design changes are required in new devices to accommodate the eSIM, along with the R&D and market testing that goes with it. Because of this, the GSMA only expects to see a substantial revenue growth for the embedded SIM from 2022 onwards as it is introduced into new devices on the market.

How Workz give you eUICC capabilities - What’s an operator’s best bet in IoT part 3/3
Consumer vs M2M – What’s an operator’s best bet in IoT? This is part 3 of a 3-video series looking at the eSIM and eUICC. Workz has been in business for over 20 years supplying SIM cards and, in addition, we will now be able to provide eSIM production to mobile network operators and OEMs as well. We offer a variety of chips with various industrial grades. We’ve got the classic M2M, the industrial or the automotive range. We offer a remote SIM provisioning solution that is compliant with the GSMA standard. We provide subscription management, data preparation and secure routing. We also offer a hosted solution but of course, we can also offer an on-premise solution if the need is there to have it onsite. We offer the operators a controlled environment, basically, a sandbox where they can actually test the system and make sure that everything is implemented and interfaced and integrated into their business support systems so that there are no issues with the live implementation. So, for operators to get started, it’s actually the same as a normal SIM card. You need to have the network keys, the transport keys and the data input files. We can then do the data preparation, build a profile and actually personalize this on a removable form factor so you can easily test it with existing devices, however, we can also do it with an eSIM but then, you can basically test the system with those SIM cards. Workz offers an independent system that can basically work with any supplier operating system. So, whether you use our operating system, whether you use our platform, it doesn’t really matter. We’re vendor neutral and very cost efficient. And basically, I think what we have shown in the past, as well, is that we provide an excellent customer service and delivery in the timelines required according to your requirements.

Consumer vs M2M market - What’s an operator’s best bet in IoT part 2/3
Consumer vs M2M – What’s an operator’s best bet in IoT? This is part 2 of a 3-video series looking at the eSIM and eUICC. So how will the gap between legacy systems and the new eUICC technology be bridged? The traditional SIM card can be loaded with eUICC software, meaning that legacy technology can be retrofitted the remote provisioning capabilities of the eUICC. The adoption of the eUICC into different verticals brings many rich and exciting opportunities for operators. Cellular-connected devices are expected to increase to nearly 12 billion in the next 5 years, with mobile data traffic forecast to grow a whopping 700%. We believe that much of this growth will come from the business M2M market as the specifications are defined and are already in use in many industries. Enterprise customers place great value on quality of service and are willing to pay a premium for business continuity. Learn more https://www.workz.com/mobile/esim/

Crush opex, boost quality
Crush opex, boost quality In this interview, Robert Varty, Head of Sales at Workz Group offers solutions for telecom operators to reduce their opex without diluting the brand experience. The no.1 challenge In my role, visiting 60 operators in 40 plus countries, a lot of the challenges that I’m seeing from the operators today is the challenge to reduce opex. 3 areas to slash costs When working with operators and the conversations that I’ve there are multiple ways that they can look at reducing their opex. Primarily I would see this in three areas: number one is by optimising the supply chain, number two is optimising the packaging and number three is optimising the logistics. Detail is key By diving into the details of the supply chain operators can increase efficiencies and, ultimately, reduce costs. Dual savings By working with our operators it’s clear to see that they are under pressure to reduce their carbon footprint. A very simple way this can have a knock-on effect to reduce their opex is by moving them from a plastic pack to a paper pack. Less is more A trend in the market that we have seen is that operators are putting more emphasis on making their packs smaller and more sleek and ultimately reducing costs. Reduce costs, not quality By using our unique technology, Workz is able to print user guides and labels on the actual pack itself. Therefore, removing unnecessary costs and making the pack sleeker without compromising the brand experience. The packing spec Optimising the packaging spec for an operator is key. It’s an area they can reduce their opex significantly, the material used, the no. of products per crate, optimising all of these reduces the opex. Even as something trivial as reducing the size of the label can help optimise the packing spec. The winning formula Making changes to your packing spec is ultimately like making changes to a Formula One car. Making multiple tweaks makes that car go faster, in the same way, making multiple changes to a packing spec actually reduces the cost. The result Operators have seen savings of over 20% by optimising the supply chain through our recommendations. Workz’ all-in-one SIM packaging and 3-in-1 repluggable SIM cards guarantee optimal, eco-friendly and cost-efficient solutions.

Scratch card success secrets - Workz Group
What makes a good scratch card? Malcolm Keightley, Head of Factory Operations at Workz Group reveals the key elements, technology and techniques employed in producing a high-quality scratch card. *What’s important? The key elements? I think it’s all about getting the PIN to the customer. A layer of protection is absolutely fundamental, the clarity of the digits so it’s easy to read and the ease of scratch so that the card isn’t destroyed in the process of actually removing the panel. It needs to be aesthetically nice, the artwork needs to be good and the printing needs to be clear. *The right ingredients The process starts with the inbound testing so it’s about getting the materials right in the first place. The selection of materials, the selection of boards, the selection of inks and all the right elements go together to make the right product. *Making it look good The artwork, as I say, is paramount to the look of the card. The quality of the artwork starts with the plate and the origination. We use the latest technology from Kodak, using the very best inks that can be provided. The image quality is second to none, it approaches anything that the market can currently produce. We have the latest test equipment built into the press which is able to spot a defect down to a few microns within the artwork. *Ensuring performance We’re checking the over-scratch performance with a scratch tester. We use the same equipment to test the ease of scratch and, as I said, ease of scratch is important, as the easier the PIN is to scratch the more readily the PIN is exposed, without being too aggressive with whatever you’re scratching it with. *Data integrity Then we have the camera system that reads every PIN and every serial number. The camera doesn’t expose the PIN number; it shows an error but it will not, actually, expose a readable PIN number. *Protecting the PIN Security is about, in most cases, the opacity of the product so the card can be attacked in a number of ways. One is that the board can be split usually either with water, alcohol or something is applied to the back. The board is then removed down to the ink layer then often with some products it’s possible to read the PIN number from the back. With our product, because of the construction, it doesn’t matter how much board you remove you can never reveal the PIN because the PIN is concealed within the ink layer. *The outcome We’re producing the best product in the market at a very competitive price, we’ve not compromised on the quality, the quality has gone up significantly but we’ve driven down the costs in general.

How is security printing changing? Workz Group
In this interview, Malcolm Keightley, Head of Factory Operations talks about the cutting edge technology that is revolutionising telecoms and the security printing industry. *What’s key in secure printing? The key is in getting the groundwork right, getting the basics right so if you start with a firm foundation then you have something to build on. It’s about buying the right equipment, it’s about making sure that you have got the right systems in place, operating practices that are robust and make sure that we do the same thing in the same way every time but I think most importantly it’s about the people and basically trying to surround yourself with excellent people. *What’s your latest investment? It touches all areas from the QC lab equipment, we’ve just brought a new tester for overscratch performance. We, actually, brought our ink mixing in-house because we found that we can control the quality of the product. The data printer was upgraded, that was a quantum step in terms of the print quality of the PIN variable data. On top of that, we have, actually, had a new artwork verification system which checks the quality of the print on the back and front of the card, that will check down to a few microns in terms of print issues. Also the security, we have just installed a whole new security system, we have new cameras covering all aspects of the process from warehousing through to finished product. *The evolution The product is evolving, we are seeing less customer complaints, I think we have less issues and on the back of the feedback we get from the customer we then build that into the next generation of the product we put out on the market.
