ENCRYPTED FLOW OF SIM DATA BETWEEN REGIONS AND EDGE NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17733831 titled 'ENCRYPTED FLOW OF SIM DATA BETWEEN REGIONS AND EDGE NETWORKS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system where multiple computing devices are provisioned to communicate on a mobile communications network operated by an edge computing network. The edge computing network belongs to a customer of a computing service provider and extends computing resources to the customer.
- The system allows the customer to select a SIM provider and the number of SIM profiles needed for the computing devices to access the mobile communications network.
- The system receives SIM data corresponding to the selected number of SIM profiles.
- The received SIM data is encrypted and transmitted over an encrypted channel.
Original Abstract Submitted
A plurality of computing devices are provisioned configured to communicate on a mobile communications network operated, in part, by an edge computing network. The edge computing network is associated with a customer of a computing service provider. The edge computing network comprises computing and storage devices configured to extend computing resources of the computing service provider to the customer of the computing service provider. A selection is received of a SIM provider and a quantity of SIM profiles for enabling the plurality of computing devices to access the mobile communications network. SIM data corresponding to the quantity of SIM profiles is received. The SIM data is encrypted and received over an encrypted channel.
