1. An intercept module capable of reducing signaling load on a mobile network, comprising:

  • an inspection module capable of inspecting intercepted packets originating from a plurality of mobile devices, to determine packets transmitted from a respective mobile device to a public data network due to a wakeup event of the respective mobile device and to determine packets to be delayed from among the packets determined to have been transmitted due to a wakeup event; and

    a delay module configured to determine a delay duration for packets originating from the plurality of mobile devices, determined to be delayed by the inspection module, and configured to delay said packets for the entire determined delay duration and upon elapse of the determined delay duration, from reception of the packet by the intercept module, to forward the packet to its intended destination, thereby causing a start of a next wakeup event for said mobile device to be delayed by a time interval, and a consequent reduction in the signaling load on the mobile network during said interval compared to the signaling load that would have been on the mobile network during said interval if said start had not been delayed.
