Mobius Provisioning Gateway

1. Introduction

Mobius Provisioning Gateway is a carrier-grade software module designed to manage device provisioning workflows in mobile networks. Built to comply with OMA Client Provisioning (OMA-CP) standards, it enables automated configuration of mobile devices using SMS-based provisioning messages, tailored by subscriber attributes, device characteristics, and network context.

This documentation provides a comprehensive guide to configuring and operating Mobius Provisioning Gateway, covering all core components—from profile management and bootstrap message construction to rule logic, destination mapping, and statistics tracking.

Key Features

Standards-Based Provisioning
Full support for OMA-CP protocol ensures interoperability with a wide range of mobile device models and operating systems, including legacy and modern smartphones.

Profile-Centric Configuration
Provisioning logic is organized into isolated Provisioning Profiles, each of which encapsulates its own Network Access Points (NAPs), Applications, Proxy Settings, and Authentication Parameters, enabling precise and modular deployments.

Advanced Rule Engine
The gateway allows dynamic provisioning logic through rule matching based on IMSI, IMEI, MSISDN, location identifiers (e.g., ECGI, TAI, RAI), and source system. This enables operators to deliver contextualized configuration to target segments.

Destination Management
Protocol-specific destinations for SMPP, SS7, and Diameter are mapped per virtual network, ensuring accurate routing of outbound provisioning messages based on operator-defined topology.

Audit and Device Insight
The system maintains a detailed history of all provisioning operations, supports TAC-based device classification, and provides a searchable list of provisioned devices, enriched with manufacturer data and hardware details.

Real-Time and Historical Statistics
Built-in reporting and monitoring tools offer both historical reports (distribution-based) and live time-series statistics for operational tracking, diagnostics, and system load analysis.

Mobius Provisioning Gateway adheres to the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) specifications, particularly:
OMA Device Management (OMA-DM)
OMA Provisioning Content (OMA-CP)
OMA Bootstrap (Bootstrap v1.1/v1.2)

This adherence ensures smooth interoperability with a wide variety of devices and management systems in modern mobile networks.
The system is designed for integration into both 3G/4G networks and NG environments with 5G-readiness. It supports both centralized operator-driven provisioning and device-driven provisioning flows via network-triggered interactions (WAP Push or similar).
Whether deployed in a single-operator scenario or as a multi-tenant system, the Mobius Provisioning Gateway provides full control over how devices are onboarded, authenticated, and granted access to network services.
