Abstract:
A wireless communication system (100) comprises a plurality of access points (102) for communicating with a plurality of wireless communication devices (104) within an enterprise (106). A local gateway (108) provides access to a local network (110) within the enterprise and an access point gateway (114) is coupled to the local gateway (108) and is communicably coupled to each of the plurality of access points (102) and to a core network (116) of the wireless communication system. The access point gateway (114) is arranged to receive control messages sent between the core network (116) and the plurality of access points (102) via the access point gateway (114) and to selectively route data via at least one of a communication path (118) between the access points (102) and the core network (116) and a communication path (120) between an access point (102) and the local network (110) via the local gateway (108) based on a received control message. A method of routing data and a method of handing over a wireless communication device, having an established data connection to a local network, is also claimed and disclosed.
