Entitlement Configuration Server (ECS)

The Next Step Beyond Traditional Entitlement

Discover how Mobile Network Operators can extend their existing ECS and TS.43 infrastructure toward Silent Network Authentication, Number Verification, and the broader network API economy.

The Evolution of ECS

The Entitlement Configuration Server has long played a critical role in enabling services such as VoLTE,
VoWiFi, and eSIM activation. But as operators move toward network-based identity, Silent Network
Authentication, and GSMA Open Gateway / CAMARA APIs, the role of ECS is evolving.

So what does the next generation of ECS look like?

help operators move from traditional entitlement services toward a broader, monetizable network API
platform.

Entitlement Configuration Server (ECS): The Next Step Beyond Traditional Entitlement

What’s Inside the Brief

The Shabodi NetAware Entitlement Configuration Server Brief examines the evolving role of ECS and the opportunity for operators to build on infrastructure they already have. Inside, you’ll discover:

Beyond eSIM

Understand where traditional Entitlement Configuration Servers fit today, and where their existing architecture can create limitations as operators expand into new network API use cases.12.

ECS & Silent Auth

Explore how TS.43-based entitlement and token flows can support newer authentication models, including Number Verification across different connectivity environments.

NV1 vs. NV2

Understand the two standardized approaches to Number Verification, why their underlying mechanisms differ, and where ECS-enabled token flows become important.

Path to Monetization

See how operators can start with high-value services such as Number Verification and expand toward SIM Swap, Location Verify, KYC Verify, and other APIs.

Deployment Models

Explore different ways operators can approach ECS modernization depending on their existing infrastructure, from extending an existing ECS to deploying a new environment.

NetAware Architecture

Get a closer look at how Shabodi NetAware can sit across layers to connect existing operator infrastructure with standardized API exposure.

Why This Matters for Mobile Network Operators

The network API opportunity is moving beyond connectivity. Operators already possess valuable network signals and capabilities. The challenge is exposing those capabilities through standardized APIs without forcing a wholesale replacement of existing network infrastructure.

Shabodi NetAware is designed to provide that bridge.

It can work alongside existing ECS environments and connect with operator systems such as AAA, HLR/HSS, PGW, NEF, SCEF, SCP and OSS/BSS, providing a path toward broader network API exposure.

The question is no longer simply: “What does my ECS do today?” It is: “What could my ECS become part of tomorrow?”
