Solution Features
 All SIM card types can be activated on first use:
USIM for GSM/3G devices and services, and
UICC for LTE devices and services.

 DSA is directly integrated with signaling in the


LTE network via DIAMETER, and in the GSM/3G
network via SIGTRAN.

 By directly handling the signaling when new SIMs


attach, DSA can apply specific provisioning
processes to suit different circumstances: a 3G
device, an LTE device where LTE coverage is
not yet available, or an LTE device that does
have LTE coverage. This enables the wireless
operator to optimize their allocation of resources.

 DSA offers the right user experience for each


user depending on their device. In a LTE network
the user experience of first use activation is
delivered web-based, on the LTE device, and can
include rich media content.

 DSA can migrate existing users to LTE when


they acquire an LTE-capable device, or when
LTE coverage is extended to their area.

With DSA, new LTE users get the full LTE experience
from the first moment they use their device – DSA
delivers an on-device personalization process over
the high-speed LTE network.

Reduce customer care costs

By guiding the user through the activation process


using an on-device dialogue over the LTE network,
DSA turns new activation into an online process and
removes the need for customer care calls.

Efficiency improvements

Moving from pre-provisioning to just-in-time allocation


of costly resources at the point of first use instead of
weeks or months earlier can significantly reduce
customer acquisition costs.

Making SIMs independent of products in the


distribution chain means stock can be more easily
moved to meet demand.

Any product in any channel

Voice, data or mobile broadband; prepaid or contract


– any product can be sold through operator-owned or
independent retail channels.

The on-device personalization process supports more


choices than independent channels can
conventionally offer.

Reduce customer churn

Operators can continue to offer new personalization


options to users via their device after activation. This
reduces the risk of customers churning away to other
carriers.

Compete by offering choice

Operators can differentiate their service, by offering a


range of personalization options to any customer.

Personalizations offered are relevant to the user’s


device, location and other circumstances.

Customers are attracted by enhanced services, not


just low price, and revenues are increased.
