Abstract:
A network based host (10) comprising an agent (12) for mobile telephones (14), the agent being associated with a mobile telephone user, the agent (12) comprising: mobile telephone application data (16); and an interface (20) to make the application data (16) available over the network to devices of the mobile telephone user and to provide the data for telephony operations by a remotely connecting mobile telephony device (14) of the mobile telephone user.
Abstract:
Apparatus for mediating between a cellular telephony network 12 and a wireless LAN, 14.1-14.n, comprises a first adaptor 16.1-16.n for allowing signal exchange with the cellular telephony network 12, a second adaptor 16.1-16.n for allowing signal exchange with the wireless LAN 14.1-14.n; and a presence tracker associated with the adaptors 16.1-16.n for obtaining and storing a current location of a wireless device on any of the networks. The apparatus allows for mobile wireless devices to connect to wireless LANs 14.1-14.n and be able to register and receive services from their mobile operator, by treating the LAN 14.1-14.n in the same way as a foreign network in International roaming.

Abstract:
The invention provides a method and a system for enabling communication with a device of a party operating in a hybrid network. The hybrid network combines an Internet-protocol based network and a non-Internet-protocol based network, wherein the device is an Internet-protocol based device. The method includes contacting a first registry being a member in the non-Internet-protocol based network for registering the device in the non-Internet-protocol based network. The method also includes contacting a second registry being a member in the Internet-protocol based network, for registering the device in the Internet-protocol based network.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method and a system for enabling communication with a device (206) of a party operating in a hybrid network. The hybrid network combines an Internet-protocol based network (202) and a non-internet-protocol based network (203), wherein the device is an Internet-protocol based device (206). The method includes contacting a first registry being (209) a member in the non- Internet-protocol based network (203) for registering the device in the non-internet-protocol based network. The method also includes contacting a second registry (210) being a member in the Internet-protocol based network (202), for registering the device in the Internet-protocol based network.
Abstract:
A client for inclusion in a mobile telephony apparatus barred from international roaming usage, to allow roaming operation thereof according to conditions determined at a home network, the client being configured with: an activation unit configured to switch said client between active and passive states, and a call control unit, operative in said active state, to communicate with a predetermined node at said home network, to facilitate control of said mobile telephony apparatus using said home network determined conditions. There is also provided a server component at the home network to support the client. The system allows CAMEL type services when a prepaid roaming user is roaming in a non-CAMEL enabled network, and even allows these services to be provided when the home network lacks CAMEL enablement.
