Abstract: A wireless network association and authentication system includes an access point that is coupled to an authentication server via a first wireless network. The access point receives, from a first user device that associates with the access point, a first request for access to a second wireless network provided by the access point that is coupled to a wide area network through the first wireless network. The first request includes first authentication information. The access point provides the first request that includes the first authentication information to the authentication server via the first wireless network and receives a first authentication response from the authentication server via the first wireless network. In response to the first authentication response indicating that the first user device is authenticated, the access point provides the first user device access to the second wireless network.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies directed to connected vehicle network access optimization are disclosed herein. Embodiments can include a system that includes a processor and a memory storing computer-executable instructions that configure a processor to perform operations. The operations can include receiving an access probe message from a telematics control unit of a vehicle. The operations can include determining that the telematics control unit is not authorized to access a network communication service. The operations can further include generating an access redirect command that instructs a head unit of the vehicle to bypass a machine-to-machine platform so as to enable access to the network communication service via a network service portal. The operations can include providing the access redirect command to the telematics control unit of the vehicle.
