Abstract: Roaming usage management apparatus for managing roaming mobile devices connected to roaming networks. The management apparatus includes a data gathering application for gathering roaming activity data, a database application, which aggregates the records into activity logs of calls per roaming device, and an output unit which sends outputs to or concerning respective roaming devices, in order to manage them based on activity levels or kinds of activity recorded in the logs. The embodiments thus provide management of roaming devices. The management is per roaming device, preferably real time, and may be used to leverage takeup of roaming services.

Abstract: Apparatus for mediating between a cellular telephony network and a wireless LAN, comprises a first adaptor for allowing signal exchange with the cellular telephony network, a second adaptor for allowing signal exchange with the wireless LAN; and a presence tracker associated with the adaptors for obtaining and storing a current location of a wireless device on any of the networks. The apparatus allows for mobile wireless devices to connect to wireless LANs and be able to register and receive services from their mobile operator, by treating the LAN in the same way as a foreign network in International roaming.
