In this lecture, I am giving my own introduction and discuss what topics and what level of details we shall be covering in the three sections of this course.

In this lecture we want to go over how the Physical SIM card evolved through Miniaturization from Mini to Nano SIMs and how it became embedded in the device as eSIM.

eSIM Basics Quiz - Multi-Choice Assessment

In this lecture we are covering what are the main contents of a subscriber profile that is stored in eSIM.

Here we take an example use case of how the subscriber can download more than one profile belonging to different operators and manage to switch between them as and when required.

Here we shall test your understanding in general about concepts behind eSIM technology.

This lecture gives references of related GSMA documents that we shall be referring when talking about the three RSP models i.e. M2M, Consumer and IoT.

In this lecture student gets an exposure to various functional components that constitute the architecture of a Machine-to-Machine Remote SIM Provisioning Eco System.  Also we talk on a high level flows between different components for downloading or activating the profiles.

In this lecture we cover the Consumer RSP Architecture as defined by GSMA. Since there are lot of common functional elements when we compare it with M2M Eco System.  So our focus will be on talking about main components that are different in this model compared to M2M Model.

Here we go over how GSMA has defined the Architecture of RSO for IoT devices. Again we shall focus more on the new functional components in this model compared to M2M and Consumer model.

Quiz to check the understanding behind the three RSP Eco systems defined by GSMA

In this slide we are going over main list of possible applications that are being deployed or will be deployed using GSMA defined M2M RSP Eco System

Here we are talking of some applications that are already using or will be using the Consumer Eco System for their deployment.

Here we cover some of the applications that can be deployed using the IoT  RSP Architecture.

Here we discuss an example of a Real Time Smart Parking System, how it is implemented.   Mainly showing different layers of functionalities starting with IoT Layer, Going through Network, Management and Application Layers

eSIM Applications - Quiz Assessment

In this lecture we tried to give you some basics of how the RSP architecture takes care of Security and Privacy when provisioning eSIMs with the profiles.

Here we talk about the pros and cons of eSIM technology as seen by different Stake holders like Network Operators, Service Providers and Device Vendors.

Here we conclude the course with a summary, key takeaways and conclusions.
