Systems and methods for providing access to shared networks in a private network through a provider network

A device may include a processor. The processor may be configured to: assign, within a first wireless network, an access point name (APN) to a first gateway for a shared network. The first wireless network includes the first gateway. A second wireless network includes a second gateway for the shared network, and the second gateway is assigned the APN within the second network.

Methods, apparatus, and systems for selecting appropriate gateway servers for user devices with different device capabilities are disclosed. In one example aspect, a wireless communication method includes provisioning multiple wireless electronic devices of a user with a first access point name, and receiving, from a wireless electronic device of the multiple wireless electronic devices of the user, a request for establishing a data session. The method also includes determining, in part based on a capability of the wireless electronic device, a second access point name that is different from the first access point name and selecting a packet gateway server corresponding to the capability of the wireless electronic device using the second access point name. The method further includes establishing the data session between the packet gateway server and the wireless electronic device.

System and method for access point name management

A system for access point name (APN) management, comprising an APN inventory system operating on a first processor that is configured to load one or more algorithms into working data memory to cause the first processor to generate a data structure that identifies a plurality of unassigned APN subnets. An order interface system operating on a second processor is configured to load one or more algorithms into working data memory to cause the second processor to generate a selection tool to allow a user to select one of a plurality of APN subnet options. An APN mapping system operating on a third processor is configured to load one or more algorithms into working data memory to cause the third processor to associate a customer account number with one of the unassigned APN subnets.
