Abstract
It is presented a method for machine-to-machine equipment management, executed in a subscription server arranged to provide an electronically transferable subscriber identity module. The method comprises the steps of: receiving a request for the electronically transferable subscriber identity module for a machine-to-machine equipment; obtaining a location rule; obtaining a calculated authorized area based on the location rule and a position of the machine-to-machine equipment; generating an electronically transferable subscriber identity module; sending the electronically transferable subscriber identity module to the machine-to-machine equipment; obtaining a position of the machine-to-machine equipment; determining whether the position indicates that the machine-to-machine equipment is outside of the calculated authorized area; and when the position indicates that the machine-to-machine equipment is outside of the calculated authorized area, restricting operation of the machine-to-machine equipment. It is also presented a corresponding system, subscription server, registration server, methods, computer programs and computer program products.
