Disclosed herein are public safety systems and methods for providing private network access to a user device. An exemplary public safety system is configured to communicate with a plurality of private networks and a communications network. The exemplary public safety system is configured to receive an emergency notification identifying a first private network of the plurality of private networks. The exemplary public safety system is configured to select the first private network. The exemplary public safety system is configured to provision the first private network to accept a configuration credential. The exemplary public safety system is configured to send through the communications network the configuration credential to a user device, thereby provisioning a subscriber identification module (SIM) in the user device to access the first private network.

Public safety systems and methods for providing emergency access to private networks

The application discloses a method and apparatus for providing interoperability for a mobile subscriber unit (MSU), employing a first protocol e.g., SCEP, with a packet-data subsystem operating at a second protocol e.g., SNDCP. The method includes determining that the first protocol employed by the MSU is different from the second protocol operated by the packet data subsystem. The method then includes creating a context information for the MSU when the determined first protocol is different from the second protocol. Further, the method includes determining a header associated with the second protocol based on the created context information and then receiving at least one data packet associated with the first protocol from the MSU. The method then encapsulates the at least one data packet with the determined header associated with the second protocol. The method then transmits the at least one encapsulated data packet to the communication network through a context manager.
