  • Patent number: 10965643
    Abstract: A computer device may include a memory configured to store instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to select to use an access point name (APN) table to be received from a wireless access network and attach to the wireless access network. The processor may be further configured to execute the instructions to receive a Protocol Configuration Options (PCO) message from the wireless access network; retrieve the APN table from the received PCO message; select an APN from the retrieved APN table; and connect to a packet data network associated with the selected APN via the wireless access network using the selected APN.

  • Patent number: 10841023
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method comprising attaching, by a fixed wireless access device, to a Fourth Generation (4G) Long Term Evolution (LTE) base station, causing, by the fixed wireless access device, the 4G LTE base station to add a Fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) base station as a secondary base station for the fixed wireless access device, scanning, by the fixed wireless access device, for 5G wireless signals associated with the 5G NR base station and generating, by the fixed wireless access device, an indication of signal strength for the 5G wireless signals associated with the 5G NR base station.

  • Publication number: 20200169339
    Abstract: A fixed wireless access device may include a memory configured to store instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to activate a Fifth Generation (5G) scanning mode and scan for 5G wireless signals associated with a provider that is also associated with the fixed wireless access device. The processor may be further configured to detect a 5G wireless signal associated with the provider; determine a signal strength for the detected 5G wireless signal; and generate an indication of the determined signal strength to be displayed in a user interface associated with the fixed wireless access device.

  • Patent number: 9548781
    Abstract: A pre-provisioned mobile device and a system are provided that enables selection of proprietary feature services and proprietary applications specific to one cellular carrier from among two or more cellular carriers that have pre-provisioned the mobile device with carrier-specific proprietary feature services and proprietary applications. In response to insertion of a carrier-specific universal integrated circuit card, pre-provisioned proprietary feature services and proprietary applications specific to the carrier associated with the carrier-specific universal integrated circuit card are enabled for execution on the mobile device from a memory of the mobile device. Other examples allow for customized firmware and software builds.
