13. A system for providing communications between at least one client application and at least one server application;
- the system comprising;
a mobile part comprising at least one client device on which the at least one client application is operable and wherein each client application communicates using a respective IP address, port and protocol via said mobile gateway; a fixed part comprising at least one server on which the at least one server application is operable; a mobile network interconnecting said mobile part and said fixed part and comprising a service connection and supporting a tunnel between said mobile part and said fixed part; and a pre-authentication filter provided to the mobile part by the mobile network and identifying at least one listed application; wherein when a communicating one of the at least one client application has data to transmit to a receiving one of the at least one server application and when said mobile part is authenticated with said mobile network, said mobile network relays said data to said receiving server application via said tunnel and when said mobile part is not authenticated with said mobile network, and the communicating mobile application matches one of said at least one listed application, said mobile network relays said data to the receiving server application via said service connection. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
