Abstract

In a telecommunications network including one or more mobile terminals in communicable relation to a mobile network and a data network such that data from the mobile terminals is transmitted towards the data network via the mobile network, a method of directing data from the mobile terminals towards the data network includes: providing an alternative data route towards the data network which bypasses at least a portion of the mobile network; comparing the data from the mobile terminals with selection criteria; and using the result of the comparison to selectively redirecting at least a portion of the data generated by the mobile terminals onto the alternative data route. The alternative data route may be configured to bypass at least a portion of the core component of the mobile network, and data that is redirected is data which is not required to be processed by the bypassed core network component.
