Introduction
Improving customer experience has always been a top priority for telecom companies. In this lightning talk, explore how to move from legacy networks to digital, cloud-native networks with in-app instant eSIM and entitlement provisioning to enable the much-needed scalability, reliability, flexibility and cost optimization that are critical to enhancing customer experience important. This speech will introduce popular application cases around the world using licensed and shared spectrum 5G mobile networks, the Internet of Things, mobile network operators (MNOs) and virtual mobile network operators (MVNOs). This demonstration is presented by Amazon Cloud Technology Partner Mobi.

Mike Nearing, solutions architecture lead at Amazon Cloud Technologies, moderated a discussion welcoming attendees to re:Invent 2023. Then, Justin Burdette gave a speech. He said that he had been working at Mobi for 6 years, and he humorously thanked his Mobi colleagues who had accompanied him during these 6 years.
Justin focused on the topic of their speech, focusing on the development process of the past 6 years, especially the results achieved in the past year, which is the transformation from the traditional telecommunications technology stack to the modern cloud-native technology stack. He pointed out that when Mobi started as a wireless operator in Hawaii in 2005, their goal was to solve the communication challenges of the local market. Due to its small size as a regional operator, Mobi is often the first wireless operator in the world to adopt new technologies or features, which Justin said is both exciting because they can continue to innovate, but also challenging because they compare It is smaller than large national operators.
Elaborating further, Justin shared that a few years after he joined Mobi, they realized that their legacy telecom systems could not be upgraded to support key emerging technologies such as 5G and VoLTE. While they are confident that there will be related innovations such as 5G in the future, they know that existing systems cannot provide a path forward. In order to transition to a cloud-native architecture that can support these new capabilities, working with the right vendor is critical. Justin highlighted how the public cloud makes integration easier because providers already operating in the cloud "speak Amazon Cloud" and can therefore integrate seamlessly with Mobi's Amazon Cloud-based systems.
Justin emphasized that WG2, recently acquired by Cisco, is one of the key partners that helped Mobi complete its transformation. WG2 builds the first cloud-native wireless core, enabling Mobi to completely transform from its closed, bulky core system to an API-driven programmable core. This fundamentally changes Mobi's technical architecture and systems, enabling greater flexibility even with legacy components that were not originally designed for this purpose.
RipSIM is regarded by Mobi as one of its important partners in the field of eSIM technology and configuration. In the era of traditional physical SIM cards, the process of obtaining a new SIM configuration relied entirely on manual operations and took weeks to complete. Now, with the help of RipSIM’s eSIM platform and Amazon Cloud Technology’s API, Mobi can provide and activate eSIM profiles immediately after customer registration, creating a truly mobile-first experience. For example, a process that used to take six months of work can now be completed in minutes with cloud-native systems.
Mike Nearing took the stage again and elaborated on Mobi's transformation at the technical level. He stressed that while the process for obtaining and provisioning an eSIM remains slow and cumbersome for many operators, involving 12 different steps and a lot of manual work, it can take months. However, by taking RipSIM’s eSIM platform and replacing API calls with a manual process, Mobi has streamlined the eSIM provisioning process to only involve 7 streamlined steps.
In addition to reducing eSIM provisioning time from months to minutes, Mike noted that moving to the cloud has provided Mobi with other benefits, such as easily handling peak traffic at events such as Black Friday, by providing support in Amazon Cloud Technology's availability zones and regions. Distribute workloads to build built-in resiliency and realize sustainability benefits such as reduced hardware and environmental impact.
Inviting Justin back on stage again, Mike asked him to share some common telecom myths that Mobi has busted on its journey to the cloud. Justin emphasized that Mobi's experience proved misplaced concerns about the security and cost of public clouds. The time and cost savings of moving to cloud-native systems are significant, as the flexibility of the cloud allows connectivity tasks to go from months-long projects to near-instantaneous provisioning.
In terms of the future, Justin is full of expectations because he learned that Mobi now provides API-driven wireless core network and real-time eSIM provisioning services. This enables partners and customers to develop more products. He is eagerly looking forward to innovations in the Internet of Things, private wireless networks and other fields, as well as the emergence of new applications that may be based on the cooperation between Mobi and Amazon Cloud Technology.
Overall, the discussion revealed how Mobi, which started out as a small wireless carrier in Hawaii, recognized the need to update its legacy telecommunications systems to support the development of new technologies such as 5G and eSIM. By partnering with other cloud-native architecture providers such as WG2 and RipSIM, Mobi has successfully transformed its technology stack into an API-driven, scalable and instant eSIM provisioning model. This transformation not only breaks the myth about public cloud security and cost, but also opens up endless possibilities for future innovation on Mobi's next-generation telecommunications platform. This story demonstrates the power of cloud-native systems, partners, and mindset to quickly transform even the most traditional telecom providers into agile, future-ready operators.
Here are some highlights from the speech:
Leaders reviewed important nodes in the long-term development of Amazon Cloud Technology.
The process of configuring eSIM profiles involves multiple manual operations such as testing, certification, file transfer, and physical manufacturing, which is relatively inefficient.
Justin cited the cost savings T-Mobile has achieved through rapid deployment and switching to Amazon Cloud Technology's cloud-native architecture to break down the telecom industry's misconceptions about the public cloud.
Justin is excited about customers using Mobi's wireless core and eSIM stack, which will enable the subscription provider provisioning and activation process to be completed almost immediately.
Leaders invite visitors to visit Mobi's booth, view demos and receive free mobile subscriptions.
Summarize
Mobi is a small regional wireless carrier founded in 2005 and headquartered in Hawaii. Mobi has undergone a major transformation in recent years, transforming from traditional telecommunications infrastructure to a modern, cloud-based 5G network powered by Amazon Cloud Technology. The key factor driving this change is that Mobi's traditional core network can no longer meet the needs of basic functions such as 5G, VoLTE and eSIM. By cooperating with RipSIM to introduce eSIM solutions and adopting cloud-native wireless core network Wg2, Mobi can achieve the flexibility and agility to quickly launch innovative products. Specifically, RipSIM’s eSIM API enables user subscription to be completed in minutes, rather than the previous manual process that took weeks, including file transfer and physical SIM card shipment. At the same time, Amazon Cloud Technology can easily handle traffic peaks, has built-in failure prevention capabilities, and brings the sustainable advantage of avoiding the use of on-site hardware.
With its technological foundation transformed, Mobi looks to the future to provide customers and partners with innovative solutions that take full advantage of its flexible, API-driven 5G network. Mobi’s journey shows that embracing cloud-native systems gives telecom providers unprecedented agility to deliver next-generation capabilities.
