Abstract:
1. A bootstrap process for secure immediate wireless access that enables at least one non-active wireless device to activate itself on a wireless network, comprising the steps of: after said at least one non-active wireless device is powered on, said at least one non-active wireless device detecting that it is not active and generating at least one temporary network identifier from a set of allocated temporary network identifiers; said non-active wireless device gaining access to said wireless network using said at least one temporary network identifier generated by said at least one non-active wireless device; an intelligent service manager (ISM) server returning a profile for said at least one non-active wireless device to appropriate network elements; said at least one non-active wireless device authenticating said ISM server; said ISM server authenticating said wireless non-active device; said ISM server programming said at least one non-active wireless device with mandatory network identifiers and security keys unique to each wireless technology; and providing said at least one non-active wireless device with immediate access to said wireless network; wherein said at least one non-active wireless device and said ISM server exchange information end-to-end between said at least one non-active wireless device and said ISM server, and wherein existing wireless network elements interposed between said ISM server and said at least one non-active wireless device passively route messages between said ISM server and said at least one non-active wireless device as if said at least one non-active wireless device were active; wherein said information is exchanged via existing wireless network messaging; wherein said ISM server provides service to a user of said at least one non-active wireless device without a need for manual provision of accounts, so that said user receives access to services offered via said wireless network to said user at the time they are needed by said user.
