Abstract

Disclosed are techniques for managing mobile devices, such as cellphones, tablets, and laptops, deployed on different operator networks, such as cellular networks, permissioned Wi-Fi networks, LANs, and WANs. The techniques include receiving, at an interface module, a request identifying at least two mobile devices and at least two of a plurality of operator networks associated therewith. The request manages each device by changing a configuration of the device on each associated network. The techniques include selecting at least two of a plurality of adapter modules, each configured to communicate with one of the plurality of networks, based on the request. The techniques further include bridging, using the selected adapter modules, communication between the interface module and the associated networks, such as transmitting the request to and receiving a response from each network. The techniques also include aggregating the received responses and transmitting the aggregated responses to the interface module.
