Abstract: System for monitoring of IoT data traffic between an IoT device connected via a cellular network and a server using Internet Protocol (IP), where the IP addresses are dynamically assigned and thus do not identify the devices. The system uses a device on the cellular network that extracts cellular identification of an IoT device involved in a data communication session and IP identification of the data communication session. The device matches the cellular identification with the IP identification. A database has device security profiles for IoT devices which can be retrieved per device via the cellular identification. Then, an enforcement unit identifies the session using the IP address and allows traffic only if the traffic conforms with the device security profile which was retrieved using the cellular identification.

Abstract: The CAMEL standard allows a roaming user to have his call or any other telephony service, say SMS and GPRS, controlled and services provided from his home network. The invention allows infrastructure triggers to be intercepted at the roaming network so that the roaming network can identify the roamer and make use of the triggers to provide services. This is possible irrespective of whether the roamer's home network supports the infrastructure.

Abstract: A system for transferring alphanumeric information to a mobile device, embedded with the call signaling, where the mobile device is able to extract the information from the incoming call and display it on the device, the information containing at least one of: {caller's name, caller's brand name, caller's information, caller's brand information}, the information is being added to the call by a network server controlling the call using IN triggers, or being added to the call directly by the caller's mobile device.

Abstract: A remote preference unit for influencing visited network selection by roaming mobile units, comprises a detection signaling relay/probe on International signaling connections, for detection of roaming activity by mobile units, a database indicative of preferred networks in the given country that the network operator prefers his roamers to use, application logic with certain criteria, determining the output, and an output unit, associated with said detection probe and said database to output indications to influence network selection by said detected roaming mobile units. In one embodiment the output is simply a rejection of the location update signal that forms the roaming request. In an alternative embodiment the signal is a copy of the relevant section of the database which is uploaded to the SIM card of the roaming unit. The SIM card upgrade may or may not be accompanied by a stage of forcing the handset to re-initiate the network selection process.

Abstract: System for automatic callback to a roaming user in response to the dialing of a destination number by the roaming user to connect the roaming user to the destination number without the expense of a mobile originated call, comprises: a roaming network based triggering unit for generating a trigger in response to the dialing of a destination number; a disconnection unit which disconnects the roaming user in the event of receiving the trigger, and a callback unit for placing a call between the caller and callee from the home network. Typically the call is made of two simultaneous calls one to each and connecting therebetween. The network based triggers may be Camel triggers.

Abstract: A method and a system for providing services to roaming subscribers of mobile telephone networks. The system comprising a packet-switch network and intelligent gateways coupled to the packet-switch network enables roaming subscribers to continue using their value added services using familiar access, interface and language. The system also enables mobile operators to deliver new services to roamers and subscribers.

Abstract: A cellular data communication interfacing apparatus, for association with a mobile network and for supporting cellular data communication to roaming mobile telephony devices, comprises a data request analyzer, a service network selector, and an interfacing engine. Each of the roaming telephony devices is associated with a respective home network and a service profile specifying service networks providing data services to the device. The data request analyzer analyzes data requests from the roaming mobile. The service network selector uses the request analyses together with the device service profiles to select a corresponding service network. The interfacing engine introduces the devices to the service networks, directs the data requests to the service networks, and directs the corresponding data responses from the service networks to the requesting roaming mobile devices.
