    a storage unit storing instructions; and

    at least one hardware processor being coupled to the communications device and the storage unit and configured to execute the instructions to;

    establish a connection with a communications network using the communications device;

    receive, from a computing system, first data specifying a plurality of first services available to the device, the device having a corresponding first device type, the first services being consistent with the first device type, and the first data being indicative of an authentication of the device;

    store the first data within a portion of the storage unit, the storage of the first data provisioning the device with the available first services;
