Abstract
A system for supporting the deployment of an embedded subscriber identification module (eSIM) provisioning management system on the ES3 interface between Subscription Manager Data Preparation (SM-DP) of a target mobile network operator (MNO) and Subscription Manager Secure Routing (SM-SR) of a current MNO. A SM-Proxy implements a SM-SR functionality on a first interface towards the SM-DP, and implements a SM-DP functionality on a second interface towards the SM-SR. A hosted SM-DP implements a RESTful API to receive SIM profile information from a provisioning server in the target MNO's network. An Agreement Management system controls a set of eSIM provisioning rules. A Service Portal enables the MNOs to manage their eSIM provisioning rules across their MNO partners.
