Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for bridging communications are provided. Interfaces between multiple high speed gateways exist but are only capable of use during handovers between varying cell towers, are manually configured, and only communicate signaling information. A bridging interface that is automatically created between two or more high speed gateways during a failed communications link is described. The bridging interface is capable of communicating both signal and data information and is associated with a single cell tower. The bridging interface may be utilized during the communications link such that a user experience is not negatively impacted.
