 OEM owns mobile core network
 With global IMSI ranges
 Global connectivity is enabled by roaming
technology and agreements
 Carmaker uses this mobile core network for
global connectivity
 Becoming a mobile virtual network
operator (MVNO)
 No need for local technical deployment:
 Same core network to host MVNOs in different
countries
 Same SIM with different IMSIs
 Roaming technology for coverage everywhere
 To address local regulations or commercial drivers,
OEM can create local MVNOs in some countries, with
local IMSIs
Global Main MVNO IMSIs
MVNO in Country A IMSIs
MVNO in Country N IMSIs
1 SIM / different IMSIs

CO-ORDINATED GLOBAL LAUNCH
OF NEW SERVICES
New in-car services and operations can be launched
at one shot in all markets
No need for specific implementation with each MNO partner
INNOVATION INDEPENDENCE
New in-car services have more and
more impact on mobile core network
(billing, differentiated service management, etc…).
OPTIMIZED NETWORK
COVERAGE EVERYWHERE
Through multiple roaming partners per country,
car can switch between networks to get
the most reliable coverage
SECURITY INDEPENDENCE
Full independence to implement
additional security solutions in core network
(Context Aware Policies, for example)
DATA OWNERSHIP
No need to negotiate with each MNO partner
on ownership of network data
Data is a key asset for monetization of connected cars
COMMERCIAL INDEPENDENCE
eSIM profile swap is highly complex on a large scale
Core network dependencies create additional lock-in
Global MVNO model enables instant shift of MNO
partners
