Abstract
A mobile telecommunications network includes a core, a radio access network, and a platform control unit. The platform control unit is capable of identifying a network path of a communication that originated from a mobile terminal. Based on certain characteristics of the communication, the platform control unit will determine whether the communication should be offloaded from its network route. If the communication is to be offloaded, then the platform control unit causes the communication to bypass the network's core.
