The embodiments herein relate to a device and a method performed by an edge cloud agent, the method comprising: receiving a request for resources; locating a computing device, in the network, capable in providing the requested resources; instantiating a secure container on the located computing device; setting up a VLAN/VPN connection to the secure container on the computing device; and allocating said resources to a storage instance based on available resources within the computing device.

Method and a device comprising an edge cloud agent for providing a service

Disclosed is a communication system for positioning of a terminal device. The communication system includes at least three leaky coaxial cables, a server device for determining a position of a terminal device in response to a receipt of data from the terminal device through at least two coaxial cables. The server device is arranged to determine an indicator value representing the at least two coaxial cables through which the data from the terminal device is received and to compare the indicator value to change patterns stored in data storage accessible to the server device, and in response to a match in a comparison to generate data representing the position of the terminal device. Also disclosed is a method for positioning the terminal device.

Positioning solution

Disclosed is a method for providing access to a digital content for a user device. The method includes receiving information including a public network address of the local area network and an identifier of a subscription, and storing the information in a register; receiving a validation request from a digital content management system; inquiring if the public network address in the validation request exists in the register; and in response to a positive detection of the inquiry further inquiring from a subscription management register if the subscription in question is valid, and in response to a positive detection generating a signal to the digital content management system indicating that the user device is entitled to access the digital content. Also aspects relating to server, a device and a computer program product are introduced.

Access management for digital content

By using embodiments of the present invention, a targeted advertisement, or other customized content, can be published to a consumer when visiting a website. The consumer is connected to a mobile broadband network and is authenticated and authorized to this broadband network. Further, the consumer is given an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the mobile broadband network and this IP address is used to identify the consumer when the targeted advertisement is determined according to a profile of the consumer. This is achieved according to embodiments by letting the publisher request a targeted advertisement for a consumer visiting a website of the publisher. The targeted advertisement is found by using the IP address allocated to the consumer device by the mobile broadband network, i.e. the consumer is identifiable by the IP address. By using the mobile broadband operator's ability to map the IP address and the consumer identity a consumer profile of the consumer is found and based on the consumer profile the targeted advertisement can be determined and shown to the consumer. The consumer profile is controlled by the mobile broadband network.
