Automatic provisioning and commissioning of electronic devices
The granted patent US12063527B2 outlines a computer-implemented method for establishing communication using electronic devices, specifically focusing on scenarios where the device is located at a different site from where it was initially provisioned. The method involves receiving predetermined provisioning information and commissioning data at a first location, followed by the reception of tailored provisioning information after the device is powered on at a second location. This process is designed to facilitate the establishment of a communication link, utilizing the specific characteristics of the electronic device, which may include components such as satellite modems and cellular transceivers connected to a reconfigurable satellite antenna.
Additionally, the patent details the operational framework for the electronic device, which includes a network interface, processor, and memory for executing the necessary instructions. The first provisioning information is intended to configure the device with an assumed hardware profile, enabling initial communication capabilities. Subsequent provisioning information is aimed at refining the device's configuration based on actual hardware profiles and location-specific parameters. The patent also specifies that commissioning tests, such as beam pointing and tracking tests, are integral to the process, ensuring that the device is adequately prepared for effective communication upon deployment at the end-use location.
