A method and system for steering a mobile device to a preferred network, such as a Private LTE network or a 5G network, in a scenario in which the coverage area of the preferred network overlaps the coverage area of a non-preferred network. If a network function detects that the mobile device is located within the coverage area of the preferred network, the network steering procedure will be triggered. The mobile device will detach from its current network, place that network on a temporary forbidden list, and perform an automatic network selection. If mobile device selects another non-preferred network, the attachment request will be denied, and the mobile device will add that non-preferred network to the temporary forbidden list. This procedure is repeated until the mobile device attaches to the preferred network or a predefined duration expires.

Method of steering a mobile device from a public mobile network to a private mobile network

A method for steering a mobile device to a preferred network, such as a Private LTE network or a 5G network, in a scenario in which the coverage area of the preferred network overlaps the coverage area of a non-preferred network. A preferred network list is provisioned into a SIM/eSIM module at the mobile device side. The steering application is hosted at the home network and periodically triggers the home network to request from the visited network a set of values for attributes associated with a current location of the mobile device. Based on these values, the steering application determines whether the mobile device is within the coverage area of the preferred network and, if so, directs the home network to send a cancel location request to the non-preferred visited network, thereby triggering the mobile device to attach to the preferred network.

Method of network-based steering of a mobile device positioned in an area having preferred and non-preferred overlapping network coverage

This invention relates generally to the field of security and remote data communications, specifically to data communications between applications running on different devices residing in different service provider networks. The invention includes methods and systems to resolve the application host based on user defined naming schema, automate the secure tunnel creation among the communication entities via Security Enforcement Servers, start up the applications via secure out of band control channel, perform packet inspection and anomaly detection based on injected user rules and historical traffic pattern, generate alert or notifications via email, text, etc. to specific users. The invention further tears down the secure connection based on application demand or inactivity timeout, generates event and statistic data records for troubleshooting and future auditing.

Method and system for secure device-to-device data communications

The invention relates generally to the field of network connectivity management, specifically to provisioning and controlling the data access of multiple client devices to application servers via a connectivity management device. The invention includes apparatuses, methods, and systems for automating the management of such apparatus and its associating client devices. The management includes initializing and storing device data, ownership proof, connectivity credentials, and security policies into a management system, such as blockchain digital ledger or device management application server. The stored information is used for auto pairing and authenticating the devices via a second wireless technology and triggering secure connection setup over the first wireless technology. The method further includes changing the credential to establish data connection using the first wireless technology according to the device location and available data cost, detecting security attack events, and generating notifications for high data usage and attack detection results.

Apparatuses, methods and systems of network connectivity management for secure access

A method and system for steering a mobile device to a preferred network, such as a Private LTE network or a 5G network, in a scenario in which the coverage area of the preferred network overlaps the coverage area of a non-preferred network, such as a 3G or a 4G Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN). A preferred network list is provisioned into a SIM/eSIM module at the mobile device side. The mobile device periodically collects a set of values for attributes associated with a current location of the mobile device and reports the collected values to the Steering application, hosted at the network side. The Steering application detects whether the mobile device is within the coverage area of the preferred network and, if so, triggers the mobile device to perform network steering.
