Configuration and credential data associated with a wireless network can be stored by the wireless network or by a gateway device associated with the wireless network. The configuration and credential data can be accessed via a user profile and pushed to unauthenticated wireless devices to authenticate the unauthenticated wireless devices for the wireless network. The configuration and credential data can be backed up via a manual, automatic, or semi-automatic back-up process.

A telecommunications network model receives data regarding a telecommunications network and a customer's use of that network. The data includes information about nodes, link between nodes, tariffs, and customer usage. The received data is utilized to create a model of the telecommunications network. The model may then be utilized to optimize a customer's use of the network, optimizing for a lowest cost solution.

Information entry for network optimization

A network optimization application receives as input information about a telecommunications network and the current use of that network. An optimization is performed in order to generate a preferred network use configuration which minimizes price for one or more customers of the telecommunications network. Information utilized as input into the application includes network nodes (e.g., switches, central offices, customer premises), linkages among nodes, prices associated with the network, and current use of the network. The output network use configuration may be browsed using a configuration interface listing network elements and also a detail interface for viewing details of individual network elements.
