- Assembly and test in a factory, potentially offshore: cost-optimized data plan for the assembly line test scenario
- Change of ownership: once assembled, appliances sold to several companies each packaging their own services with custom configuration
- Field deployment in many regions via distributors, installers, retail: different MNOs
- Operational life where a service is offered to end-customers: different data plans depending on end-customer level of service
Each part of the lifecycle presents challenges for managing the connectivity through SIMs, provisioning, carriers and costs.
