  • Publication number: 20240172036
    Abstract: A tracking system monitors operating conditions of a first wireless access point through which a mobile communication device communicates with a gateway. The gateway and the first wireless access point support a session of data flows between the mobile communication device and a remote network. Based on the monitored operating conditions of the wireless access point, the controller associated with the tracking system dynamically generates control settings to control the session of data flows through the gateway. The controller applies the control settings to the gateway to control communications associated with the session of data flows between the remote network and the mobile communication device. The controller applies different control settings under different operating conditions and/or as the mobile communication device uses different wireless access points to communicate through the gateway to the remote network.

  • Patent number: 11343236
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for using a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) parameter to pass variables between authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) servers and a portal so as to intelligently select and display a different captive portal landing page on a user equipment (UE) device based on any combination of the geographic location of the UE device, the service set identifier (SSID) of the access point, the UE device's media access control (MAC) address.

  • Patent number: 11026087
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for provisioning user equipment devices. A zero touch configuration proxy (ZTCP) component may be configured to receive a client certificate and a request for a configuration file from a UE device, verify the authenticity of the received client certificate, use PKI and the SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN field of the client certificate to identify the UE, issue various commands/API calls to a provisioning system, determine whether the specific UE device is currently authorized to receive a particular service (e.g., VoIP, etc.), determine whether the specific UE device is allowed to access the requested configuration file, and send the configuration file to the UE device in response to determining, based on SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN field in the client certificate, that the UE device is authorized to access the configuration file and receive the requested service.
