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.
