A method of operating a wireless communications network is adapted to provide services to users exploiting a first and a second different radio communications technologies, for example, an enhanced general packet radio service network. The method includes: providing, in a user profile available at the network, a subscription indication adapted to indicate that the user has subscribed for being provisioned with the network services through the first radio communication technology, upon reception by the network of a capability indication from the user adapted to indicate to the network that the user supports the first radio communications technology, looking up the user profile for the presence of the subscription indication; and in case the subscription indication is not found, handling the user as if supporting the second radio communications technology but not the first radio communications technology.

A supranational and inter-PLMN physical private mobile telecommunications network includes at least one first (1) and one second (2) physical node that can cooperate with the respective different public mobile networks (PLMN, PLMN), , , ) referably located in different countries. These physical nodes have respective: functionalities selected from the group consisting of: masking functionality (M, M) to handle the interworking with the respective public mobile network (PLMN, PLMN), filtering functionality (F, F) to analyze the numbering of the internal call d/calling customer in relation to the identity of the calling/called party, a functionality managing the coordination and intelligent services (INCI, INC), which can control the call between the physical node of origin and the physical node visited, and thus permits the management of the virtual user mobility between the physical nodes as they are involved as well as the: invocation of the intelligent services provided inside the different physical nodes, and an interworking functionality (ITW, ITW) configured so as to permit the interworking between signalling on Internet Protocol network (IP) and a circuit-switching signalling.

System for managing the identities of mobile stations roaming between mobile radio networks, operating within a private mobile radio network, constituted by one or more base transceiver stations (BTS; Node B) and by a reference base station controller (BSC; RNC), which realize a normal base station subsystem (BSS; RNS) within the public mobile radio network, characterised in that upon registration of the roaming mobile station (MS), authorized to access the private mobile radio network, the system (VIM) simulates, from the base station subsystem (BSS; RNS) towards the mobile switching center (MSC) of the competent network switching subsystem (NSS), the behaviour of the mobile station, whereto it has associated the identity profile selected from a group of identity profiles held by the operator of the visited network, and in wholly similar form, from the mobile switching center (MSC) towards the base station subsystem (BSS), the system (VIM) simulates the behaviour of the competent network switching subsystem (NSS) during the salient steps of the registration of the roaming mobile station, in such a way as to assure the correct execution of the procedure itself.
