In order to perform location-specific services of a broadcasting unit, virtual cells for the location-specific services are set up so that cell data, which define a local cell area, are transmitted to a mobile receiving device via the broadcasting unit. The cell data are stored in the mobile receiving device. The mobile receiving device establishes its current position and determines whether it is located in the cell area. In the event the mobile receiving device is located in the cell area, the receiving device performs a service assigned to the cell data. The setting up of cells for local-specific services by the broadcasting unit in a multitude of mobile receiving devices in the service area of the broadcasting unit enables geographical areas inside and outside the service area to be slit up into smaller, interactive and virtual service cells and cell clusters in a dynamic and optimal manner according to need and geographical and/or service-specific parameter.

Systems and methods are provided for effectuating a self-installation application that may be utilized by end users of 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) devices, installation professionals, etc. to optimally locate and position/orient a FWA device relative to an installation environment. Users can view the operating characteristics of multiple networks simultaneously using the application's dual subscriber identity module (SIM) capabilities and receive updates as to the connection strength. Updated displays can include heat maps, speedometers, and rankings with images of relevant locations.

Various arrangements of hybrid cloud cellular networks are presented. A hybrid cloud cellular network can include multiple base stations, each base station including a radio unit (RU); a router; and a distributed unit (DU). The network can include a cellular network cluster that includes multiple network functions. The cellular network cluster can be implemented on a cloud computing platform and communicates with the DUs of the base stations. The cluster can include a virtual router that receives traffic from the cellular network cluster and the virtual router is configured to analyze a label of each packet of the received cellular network data traffic. The virtual router can prioritize routing of packets of the received data traffic on the cloud computing platform based on the label of each packet.

Various arrangements of a hybrid cellular network are presented. The hybrid cellular network includes multiple base stations. Multiple subnets are created within a region of a public cloud computing platform. Each subnet can be executed at a different data center of the public cloud computing platform. Cellular network functions are instantiated within the subnets in the region of the public cloud computing platform. Multiple virtual routers that manage the routing of packets for the cellular network functions are created within the subnets.

Various arrangements of a hybrid cellular network system are detailed herein. The system can include a cellular radio access network (RAN) comprising a plurality of base stations (BSs). Each BS can include an antenna, a physical router; a radio units (RU), and a distributed unit (DU). The system can include multiple pass-through edge data centers (P-EDCs). Each P-EDC is in communication with a different subset of BSs. The system can include an aggregation data center (ADC) in communication with the P-EDCs. The system can further include a breakout edge data center (EDC) executed at an EDC of a cloud computing platform, the B-EDC including a second transit gateway and a virtual router.

Arrangements for using a virtual private network via a cellular network are detailed herein. A cellular network can receive, from a client, various characteristics. The cellular network can be used to identify a cluster template based on the characteristics. The cellular network can then instantiate a cluster based on the cluster template on a public cloud computing platform. Access, via a radio access network (RAN) of the cellular network can then be provided to one or more client services executed within the cluster on the public cloud computing platform.
