The present disclosure is directed to techniques for bootstrapping and certificate management of Internet of Things (IoT) devices using a zero-touch deployment (ZTD) service. In one aspect, a method of managing Internet of Thing (IoT) devices includes receiving, at an IoT management component, a bootstrapping request from an IoT device, the request including location information of the IoT device; receiving, from a controller, credential information for the IoT device; generating a policy for bootstrapping the IoT device based at least on the location information and the credential information; and sending the policy to the IoT device for the IoT device to complete the bootstrapping.

IoT bootstrapping and certificate management using zero-touch deployment (ZTD) services

In one embodiment, a service receives a device registration request sent by an endpoint device, wherein the endpoint device executes an onboarding agent that causes the endpoint device to send the device registration request via a cellular connection to a private access point name (APN) associated with the service. The service verifies that a network address of the endpoint device from which the device registration request was sent is associated with an integrated circuit card identifier (ICCID) or international mobile equipment identity (IMEI) indicated by the device registration request. The service identifies a tenant identifier associated with the ICCID or IMEI. The service sends, based on the tenant identifier, a device registration response to the endpoint device via the private APN.

Zero-touch deployment (ZTD) of cellular IoT devices and associated trust model

The present disclosure is directed to systems and techniques for providing zero-touch deployment (ZTD) and/or adaptive network traffic control policy management for deployed Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. In one example, the systems and techniques can include obtaining a network traffic policy from a network traffic control service and obtaining one or more data usage policies from an IoT hub. Data usage measurements can be obtained for a plurality of IoT devices. One or more IoT device traffic policies can be automatically generated based at least in part on the network traffic policy, the one or more data usage policies, and the data usage measurements. The IoT device traffic policies can be used to provision or configure at least a portion of the plurality of IoT devices.

Zero-touch deployment (ZTD) with adaptive network control policies

An embodiment of the invention describes a wireless device comprising a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) further comprising a memory for storing program code for performing a plurality of operations, and a processor for processing the program code to execute the plurality of operations, the operations including receiving over-the-air instructions via a wireless network from a control center to create a rules set in the SIM, wherein the rules set defines an acceptable behavior of the wireless device, monitoring requests from a wireless modem of the wireless device for access files stored in the SIM, detecting an aggressive behavior of the wireless device based on the rules set, and blocking the wireless modem from generating traffic in the wireless network.

System and method for responding to aggressive behavior associated with wireless devices

A system, apparatus, and method are provided for connecting, configuring and testing new wireless devices and applications. For example, one embodiment of a computer-implemented method for enabling a trial wireless device comprises: automatically pre-provisioning one or more trial SIM cards for operation on a particular wireless cellular network on behalf of a prospective customer; automatically pre-configuring a trial wireless machine-to-machine ('M2M') device on behalf of the prospective customer; wherein the trial M2M device includes testing and monitoring program code which, when the trial M2M device is connected to a computer system, performs the operations of: automatically connecting to the wireless cellular network execute a plurality of test operations for testing the SIM card and the trial M2M device, the test operations including determining whether the SIM card is correctly provisioned for the wireless network; determining whether the trial M2M wireless device is operating properly; and determining the existence of wireless data connectivity.

System and method for connecting, configuring and testing new wireless devices and applications

A system for managing wireless devices in a wireless network comprising: a processor; and a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions which when executed cause the processor to: receive a diagnostic request to analyze a problem associated with a wireless device operating in the wireless network; retrieve diagnostic information associated with the wireless device from the wireless network; retrieve diagnostic information associated with the wireless device from the wireless device; determine at least one solution for the problem associated with the wireless device based on the retrieved diagnostic information from the wireless network and the wireless device; transmit the at least one solution; and receive a confirmation that the problem has been resolved.

Core services platform for wireless voice, data and messaging network services

A Core Service Platform (CSP) system is integrated with an operator network and IT system to provide services to subscribers and operators. Based on information collected from the operator network and IT system, the CSP system delivers alerts to a subscriber's device and provides offers to resolve the condition causing the alerts. The CSP system provides customized contextual offers to the subscriber's device based on contextual assessments of a subscriber's current context, such as time in contract, loyalty status, data and voice usage, value of customer, time, location and purchase history. The CSP system also provides an operator a suite of tools for the operator to manage its pricing, offers, campaigns and other subscriber-related issues.

A system, apparatus, and method are provided for connecting, configuring and testing wireless devices and applications. For example, one embodiment of wireless device for operation in a wireless network comprises a processor, a wireless module including a radio receiver and transmitter unit coupled to the processor, a graphical user interface (GUI) coupled to the processor, and a Connection Manager Module (CMM) including an Application Programming Interface (API) module, a Rules Engine Module, and a Rules Set Module, wherein the CMM manages a connection to a wireless network.

System and method for connecting, configuring and testing wireless devices and applications

A cellular device comprises: a data network indicator for providing an indication when data network connectivity associated with a cellular network does not meet performance or configuration criteria; and an automatic network reconfiguration module, which stores an alternative network list, for automatically reconfiguring the data network connectivity to restore or improve the data network connectivity. In response to the indication of the data network indicator, the automatic network reconfiguration module is adapted to: automatically retry a registration process with the cellular network, and if retrying the registration process is unsuccessful, choose an alternative cellular network from the alternative list to join by restarting the registration process from an International Subscriber Identity Module (IMSI) attach step.
