Cellnetrix releases an advanced version of Multi-IMSI Roaming Application

Cellnetrix has released a new advanced version of the Multi-IMSI Roaming Application (MIRA) already used by several customers world-wide, which has been successfully demonstrated during Mobile World Congress taking place at Fira Gran Via in Barcelona, from March, 2^nd until March, 5^th 2015.  This year, more than 85,000 attendees from over 200 countries were treated to a wealth of learning and networking opportunities; product showcases and announcements; inspiration and innovation.

Cellnetrix  MIRA application supports 2 main operational profiles: Machine-to-Machine and a configuration for consumer devices providing following features:

·      Provisioning and management of operator subscriptions in a secure way leveraging on the end-to-end (U)SIM OTA security;

·      Secure storage of a subscription including limited operator profile;

·      Selection of a proper subscription driven by business rules downloaded together with a subscription;

·      Steering to preferred networks depending on the selected subscription;

·      Secure peer-to-peer interface with a remote steering OTA platform;

·      Status reporting.

·      Engineering SIM menu is supported to help troubleshoot complex roaming cases and ensure consistent and enjoyable experience for the end users.

·      Pluggable back-ends are supported allowing different SIM vendors to provide abstractions to their proprietary authentication data storage schemes and switching logic. 

As a transport bearer Cellnetrix application supports BIP data packet interface, SMS or USSD depending on applet configuration and available data services.

Subscription management features include download, activation, deactivation and secure deletion of the operator profiles. As an option, full network authentication credentials and type of 2G or 3G authentication algorithm can be provided together with a profile.

Fallback to a default subscription ensures that connectivity to a device is not lost even if a new subscription cannot be properly activated. In case the applet configuration does not provide a default subscription, previously activated subscription or first suitable according to selection rules profile will be selected.

Multiple default subscriptions are supported in the case the operator is not able to provide a single subscription for all countries of the world. When a default subscription is activated, the applet can be configured to request a more optimal subscription from the service platform, receive and activate it dynamically.

The new release of the Multi-IMSI Roaming Application marks the next company milestone towards the migration to GSMA Embedded UICC provisioning architecture and its commitment to the truly interoperable solutions not bundled to a specific (U)SIM manufacturer or card configuration.
