In the fast-changing world of telecommunications, it is essential to maintain smooth communication with SIM cards.
Traditionally, OTA updates relied on SMS or proprietary protocols for communication with SIM cards. While effective, these methods confronted challenges like latency, scalability, and added operational costs.
HTTPS-based OTA updates leverage the simplicity of web protocols. By using HTTPS (Secure Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) as the communication channel, OTA updates become more streamlined and adaptable to modern infrastructures.
More than that, OTA HTTPS communication, paired with the Polling applet, offers an advanced solution for situations where traditional SMS communication isn't enough. This includes handling SIM cards without phone numbers (MSISDN-less), assiting operators who don't want to integrate with SMS centers (SMSC), and quickly updating a large number of SIM cards in a cost-effecgtive way.
This solution also covers the specific use case of New Subscribers Onboarding - based on the first authentication in the network trigger, a new configuration is automatically pushed via OTA HTTPS. This approach streamlines the onboarding process without requiring any manual input from the operator or the end user.
By enabling HTTPS-only communication, the applet adopts a secure, industry-standard approach that is increasingly preferred. It works by fetching OTA updates when specific events occur on the SIM card, working smoothly with an OTA platform to run campaigns based on these events. Configurable triggers enable simultaneous updates for millions of SIM cards, improving the succes rate of updates and ensuring efficient operations.
One of the key advantages of the applet is its ability to provide improved security through HTTPS-only communication. This ensures both data integrity and confidentiality, meeting rigorous industry standards. For operators who value secure and reliable solutions, the applet offers reassurance by conforming to modern security protocols.
The Polling Applet is highly efficient due to its automation features. By using event-driven updates, it removes the necessity for manual intervention, which helps lower operational costs and makes managing large-scale SIMs easier. This particularly important in dynamic telecom environment, where timely and dependable updates are vital for maintaining customer satisfaction and achieving optimal network performance.
The SIMARTIS Polling Applet stands out through its proven reliability and smooth integration with OTA platforms. Designed is full compliance with telecommunications standards, it ensures interoperability across devices and operating systems. By addressing the demands of modern connectivity, it keeps both SIMs and eSIMs consistently updated with essential configurations.
