Described herein are techniques for providing a user device with a virtualized peering emulation service using an internet protocol (IP) connection between a sensor gateway (gateway) and a remote virtualized peering emulation service device (emulation device). The gateway receives wireless signals (e.g., Bluetooth, ZigBee, Z-Wave, and/or the like) from the user device. The gateway generates a data packet comprising data indicative of the wireless signals received from the user device and sends the data packet to the emulation device through the IP connection. The gateway receives network traffic through the IP connection from the emulation device, the network traffic comprising data indicative of wireless signals from a remote user device. The gateway transmits the wireless signals from the remote user device, such that the user device can locally receive the wireless signals from the remote user device, thereby providing a virtualized peering emulation service to the user device.

System and methods for providing virtualized cloud peering emulation services

Described herein are techniques for providing a virtual Wi-Fi service using internet protocol (IP) connections between a central Wi-Fi access gateway (WAG) and one or more radio nodes. The WAG establishes an IP connection with a first radio node across a network, where the first radio node is configured to connect to one or more Wi-Fi devices located near the first radio node. The WAG receives network traffic over the IP connection, where the network traffic is associated with a Wi-Fi device from the one or more Wi-Fi devices connected to the first radio node. The WAG provides a virtual Wi-Fi service through the network to the Wi-Fi device based on the network traffic such that the Wi-Fi device connects to the virtual Wi-Fi service as if the virtual Wi-Fi service is a physical device locally connected to the first radio node.
