Secure Over-The-Air

SIM Card Management

Evolving Systems’ Over-The-Air (OTA) Platform

Solution Details

Evolving Systems’ Over-The-Air (OTA) Platform provides secure remote management of SIM files and applications, ensuring reliable updates occur efficiently and without impacting subscriber mobile services.

The mobile ecosystem is quickly accumulating new applications and becoming more advanced. As a result, remote SIM configuration has become increasingly more important in order to enable seamless updates either via the Short Message Service (SMS) or an IP-based bearer. This process helps optimize the configuration data updates for SIM cards and enables the distribution of new SIM application updates and configuration settings to (U)SIMs which access these services.

Evolving Systems provides a cost-effective platform which has been designed to provide a secure OTA SIM card management solution for operators.
