Abstract

A device may include a memory storing instructions and processor configured to execute the instructions to receive a request for a connection from a user equipment (UE) device via cellular wireless signals and detect that the request identifies the connection as a private local data connection associated with a private network. The processor may be further configured to select a private application service network slice, from a plurality of network slices, for the connection, in response to detecting that the request identifies the connection as a private local data connection, and route packets associated with the connection to destination devices in the private network using wireless signals while preventing the packets associated with the connection from leaving the private network via a backhaul connection associated with the device.
