Universal subscriber identity module provisioning for machine-to-machine communications
First Claim
1. A method for remotely updating stored subscriber identification parameters over a wireless network, the method comprising:
- establishing new parameters from a new operator for updating stored subscriber identification;
checking integrity of the new parameters using data received from an old network operator;
stopping a connection to the network; and
reestablishing the connection using the new parameters.

Abstract
The present invention relates to remotely provisioning subscriber identification parameters in a device on a wireless network. A secure connection is established with the device, and a token containing the new subscriber identification parameters is forwarded over the secure connection. The device may verify the received token. In one embodiment, the subscriber identification parameters are updated to change network operators. The secure connection can be with the old network operator or the new network operator. The device on the wireless network may be a machine-to-machine device. The provisioned subscriber identification may be part of a universal subscriber identification module.
