Israeli operator Hot Mobile is implementing the SIM OTA platform from VAS provider Callup for remote management of files and applets on SIM cards.
SIM OTA provides over the air management of the entire SIM card life cycle from activation of new accounts, through various upgrades and roaming updates, to SIM card cancellation and swap.
The OTA platform is based on CALLUP’s MDM+ state-of-the-art device management platform. Features such as secured Remote File Management, Remote Applet Management and other remote Over the Air SIM operations are provided, as well as advanced features such as Steering of Roaming, Location Tracking and Welcome SMS.
"Callup’s SIM OTA will allow us to manage the SIM cards with maximum efficiency, improving customer service and saving considerable costs and time, while interfacing with various functions related to our extensive mobile activity,” said Avi Benguigui, Hot Mobile’s Vice President Engineering.
Supporting LTE, the SIM OTA platform will include unique features, such as a management system, location tracking and Steering of Roaming, prioritising cellular operator selection during roaming. SIM OTA will enable Hot Mobile to issue control commands on SIM cards using its rich API, or through the user interface.
