The invention solves the problem of lack of consistency in the policy handling of cellular devices and non-cellular devices. Security credentials that are acceptable to the core network are enabled by the invention to be used for devices that do not have access to such security credentials. This results in consistency in how policy is handled, as it enables the core network to handle policy for all devices, regardless of whether they have access to acceptable security credentials. Acceptable security credentials may be SIM-based credentials or certificate-based credentials, or any acceptable type of security credentials.

Systems and methods for secure connections and data transfer

Systems and methods are provided for managing machine-type communication and for mobile network memory conservation. Consistent with disclosed embodiments, a machine-type communication gateway including a centralized policy engine and a device trigger storage may be communicatively connected to control nodes of a mobile network and to trigger providers of a fixed network. The machine-type communication gateway may be configured to receive device triggers from the trigger providers, store the device triggers in the device trigger storage in queues, and providing the device triggers to the control nodes at rates determined by the centralized policy engine. Consistent with disclosed embodiments, a non-transitory storage memory may store bearer information. The mobile network may be configured to receive an indication to establish a data session, retrieve the stored bearer information from the storage memory, and commit memory resources by establishing one or more bearers for the data session using the stored bearer information.
