Patent number: 9332412Abstract: A method for controlling wireless communication access by wireless devices to a wireless communications network includes establishing, using an intelligent network access controller (INAC), one or more targeted coverage areas overlaying portions of the wireless communications network. The INAC begins by determining a location of a wireless device relative to a targeted coverage area and locking the wireless device to the INAC when the wireless device is located in or near the targeted coverage area. The INAC then determines an access category for the wireless device. The INAC prevents wireless communication access for a first category of wireless devices by maintaining the first category wireless devices locked to the INAC and allows unlimited wireless communications for a second category of wireless devices by directing the second category wireless devices to attempt registration with the wireless communications network.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2013Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: TECORE, INC.Inventors: Jay Salkini, Thomas Joseph, Youssef Dergham

Patent number: 9313639Abstract: A method for controlling wireless communication access includes using a controller to establish a targeted coverage area overlaying a portion of one or more wireless communications networks. The controller then receives a registration signal from a wireless device, determines if the wireless device is located within the targeted coverage area, and locks the wireless device to the controller. The controller then determines if the wireless device is one of a first category wireless device and a second category wireless device. The controller, upon receiving an emergency access call from the wireless device, connects wireless devices of a first category to a public safety access point, and maintains wireless devices of a second category locked to the controller without connection to the public safety access point.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2013Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: TECORE, INC.Inventors: Jay Salkini, Thomas Joseph, II, Youssef Dergham

Patent number: 8649760Abstract: An over the air (OTA) Prepaid system, and a corresponding method, allows wireless connectivity when a wireless network would typically reject a user, such as when the user's profile cannot be validated. In wireless networks, unrecognized users are denied service due to the inability of the network to collect funds from the user for the services to be provided. When such a rejection scenario occurs, the OTA Prepaid system automatically (no user interaction required) initiates the process of local account allocation.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2008Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: TECORE, Inc.Inventors: Jay Salkini, Thomas V.
