An apparatus, system, and method for gateway onboarding for the Internet of Things providing for securely controlling access to a network by a gateway through a self-service registration web portal. The method steps include entering serial number and gateway information into a self-service registration web portal by a user; submitting the registration request to network controller; attempting to connect to network by gateway by presenting the serial number; verifying, by the administrator, the serial number and user validity; if verified, approving gateway for access to network; allowing gateway on network; and issuing configuration parameters.

Method for gateway onboarding for IoT networks

A singular federated Low Power Wide Area Virtual Network (LVN) computing system and method provides a controlling interface between Radio Access Network (RAN) Provider participants and participating Application Provider End-Devices. The system leverages the advantages of each RAN Provider participant. It allows Application Providers to use a variety of RANs, and RAN Providers to offer services to Application Providers without the need for direct relationships. Steps include an End-Device transmitting a message, receiving the End-Device transmission at one or more gateways, determining if the End-Device is a LVN member, if no, discard the transmission message, if yes, test the validity of the received end device transmission message at a network controller, if not valid, discard the transmission message, if valid, weight the message by the receiving gateway's class, fractionalize the message, and attribute value to the RAN provider and the Application Provider.

System and method for low power wide area virtual network for IoT

A system and method for a software defined Internet of Things (IoT) Network Controller/Server including Network Controller Instances, a Network Controller Cluster, Application Controller Instances, Northbound and Southbound APIs, Uplink and Downlink Processor instances, and a Network Database. The invention leverages web-oriented technologies for a large horizontally scalable and highly available system. Horizontal scaling is accomplished by Network Controller instances which dynamically increases throughput for uplink and downlink processing. The event-driven architecture is coordinated through a distributed cache. Only Critical events are persisted as part of event processing; all others are stored in a cache and scheduled for persistence.

IoT network controller / server

A system and related method for the exchange of information, data and instructions between one or more network administrators and one or more network infrastructure devices via one or more media exchanges. Devices are managed using a social media agent including a session agent that translates media messages into network device content and vice versa while maintaining context. Particular media interfaces may be selected for messaging dependent upon the particular message to be exchanged. Shorthand may be used to facilitate messaging through media of interest.

System and related method for management of devices of a network system via social media interfaces

A function is provided in a network system for adjusting network policies associated with the operation of network infrastructure devices of the network system. Network policies are established on network devices including packet forwarding devices. The network has a capability to identify computer applications associated with traffic running on the network. A network policy controller of the network is arranged to change one or more policies of one or more network devices based on computer application information acquired. The policies changed may be network policies as well as mirroring policies. An example policy to change is direct a network device to mirror traffic to an application identification appliance for the purpose of identifying applications running on the network through a plurality of mechanisms. The function may be provided in one or more devices of the network.
