Otherwise, you'll have to edit /etc/hosts to access the services. It's also highly recommended that you are able to add DNS records to a domain you own. Git and Docker to run the deployment scripts.An account with the Google Cloud Platform (GCP).You'll need a few things in place to be able to deploy this to GKE: After completion of these instructions, you'll have an OTA Connect server available on the internet with a single QEMU device registered to it. The new feature will be presented for the first time at the Mobile World Congress, stand #6I20 using COMPRION’s trace tool MiniMove.įor more information, please visit with the OTA blog series part one and part two, this article shows you how to deploy OTA Connect using the OTA Community Edition into Google's Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Only through sufficient testing can the MNOs ensure that their partners (banks, service providers) and even more important, the consumers can activate the desired services and benefit from comprehensive security and crucial data protection.” They want to make sure that the smartphone and the SIM card process OTA information coming from the network side correctly, for example by installing the app in the right way. Ralph Kamp, product manager at COMPRION states: “This feature is a crucial control instrument for the MNOs. This new feature is available for COMPRION’s spy and handset test tools. It decrypts and unwraps the data packages, sets them to the right order of command and response pairs and translates them into a human readable format.

This is the reason why COMPRION has created the new OTA Remote Management Translator that enables the user to view the complete OTA communication.

Test engineers who want to detect and solve problems in the OTA communication chain face the challenge of understanding the encrypted commands. In order to protect data integrity as well as subscribers’ privacy, data is secured by encrypted sessions. They use Over-The-Air (OTA) communication as a core mechanism for secure loading, configuring and deleting SIM card applications. Therefore, COMPRION has created the new OTA Remote Management Translator which helps to check the data flow between the SIM card – as the Secure Element within the cell phone – and the network and to make these services more secure and reliable.Ĭompanies such as Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and service providers sometimes need to change the content of a SIM card when it is already in the consumer’s smartphone, for example when they introduce new applications like a mobile wallet. As paying by phone involves personal banking data, testing is absolutely crucial. Over-the-Air (OTA) communication is key for provisioning mobile payment services.
