10. A system comprising:
a storage configured to store instructions; and
one or more processors configured to execute the instructions and cause the system to:
receive, at a hierarchical provisioning connector, a provisioning request from a provisioning service for a device;
determine whether to provision the device to a 5G core network or an LTE core network based on a unique device identifier associated with the device;
receive a core network identifier associated with the 5G core network or the LTE core network;
forward the provisioning request to a single provisioning connector associated with the core network identifier; and
forward a response from the single provisioning connector to the provisioning service.
