A method, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to an device detection and network slice assignment service. The device detection and network slice assignment service may include providing a subnetwork slice connection between a fixed wireless access device and a fifth generation (5G) radio access network device to an end device that is not 5G compatible. The fixed wireless access device may detect the end device based on an identifier included in a network assignment request. The fixed wireless access device may assign a network address, which may be associated with the network slice assignment service, to the end device. The fixed wireless access device may route traffic to and from the end device via the subnetwork slice connection.

Device detection and network slice assignment service

Provided is an intelligent mobile wireless access point device that is set-up to allow for remote configuration of the access point device, via a mobile communication network, by a configuration server. A configuration file for a mobile wireless access point device is maintained by a service provider in a configuration server. The configuration file is delivered to the mobile wireless access point devices over the mobile communication network, which allows multiple mobile wireless access point devices to be configured substantially simultaneously and without the multiple mobile wireless access point devices being physically located at an enterprise location. In addition, the remote configuration examples of a mobile wireless access point device mitigate the opportunities for unauthorized use of the mobile wireless access point, and provide additional security features for authorized users.
