Patent number: 10098164Abstract: Described herein are techniques for providing a user device with a virtualized peering emulation service using an internet protocol (IP) connection between a sensor gateway (gateway) and a remote virtualized peering emulation service device (emulation device). The gateway receives wireless signals (e.g., Bluetooth, ZigBee, Z-Wave, and/or the like) from the user device. The gateway generates a data packet comprising data indicative of the wireless signals received from the user device and sends the data packet to the emulation device through the IP connection. The gateway receives network traffic through the IP connection from the emulation device, the network traffic comprising data indicative of wireless signals from a remote user device. The gateway transmits the wireless signals from the remote user device, such that the user device can locally receive the wireless signals from the remote user device, thereby providing a virtualized peering emulation service to the user device.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2015Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: BENU NETWORKS, INC.Inventors: Shawn Lewis, Rajat Ghai, David F. Callan

Publication number: 20180069901Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing cloud-based virtual local networks. A computerized method for providing cloud-based virtual local networks includes receiving at a network gateway a request for a network address from a network switch, communicating with a user device management entity (uDME) server to authorize the network switch, receiving an authorization response from the uDME server for the network switch, receiving a network address pool at the network gateway from the uDME server, and creating at the network gateway a virtual home router containing a virtual home router context that is unique to the virtual home router and associated with the network address pool.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2017Publication date: March 8, 2018Inventors: Rajat GHAI, David F. CALLAN, Rajendar DUGGAL, Swarup SAHOO, Shawn LEWIS, John DEPIETRO, Patrick BOWEN, Ramesh GUPTA

Patent number: 9585186Abstract: Described herein are techniques for providing a virtual Wi-Fi service using internet protocol (IP) connections between a central Wi-Fi access gateway (WAG) and one or more radio nodes. The WAG establishes an IP connection with a first radio node across a network, where the first radio node is configured to connect to one or more Wi-Fi devices located near the first radio node. The WAG receives network traffic over the IP connection, where the network traffic is associated with a Wi-Fi device from the one or more Wi-Fi devices connected to the first radio node. The WAG provides a virtual Wi-Fi service through the network to the Wi-Fi device based on the network traffic such that the Wi-Fi device connects to the virtual Wi-Fi service as if the virtual Wi-Fi service is a physical device locally connected to the first radio node.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2015Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: BENU NETWORKS, INC.Inventors: Rajat Ghai, Shawn Lewis, David F.

Publication number: 20140344449Abstract: Computerized systems and computerized methods are provided for internet protocol (IP) address allocation for Wi-Fi clients in a manner that avoids assigning a public IP address to a device if the device is not first activated to use services provided by the network. A private IP network address is allocated to a device, wherein the private IP network address is only valid for a predetermined period, and only allows the device to activate itself with the network instead of providing the device full access to the network. The device is monitored during the predetermined period so that if the device is activated to use the network during the predetermined period, the computing device assigns a public IP address to the device so that the device can access a full set of services provided by the network.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2014Publication date: November 20, 2014Applicant: Benu Networks, Inc.Inventors: David F.
