Abstract

A mobile application gateway configured to interconnect mobile communication devices on a cellular network with an enterprise network is provided. The mobile application gateway includes a voice and data signaling gateway configured to provide routing functionalities, service functionalities and admission control. A gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) is configured to establish a secure data session between one or more of the mobile communication devices and the enterprise network by establishing a GPRS tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnel between a carrier-hosted serving GPRS support node (SGSN) and the GGSN.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a carrier gateway server, located in a public cellular network, that communicates with a mobile switching network, the carrier gateway server configured to receive dialed digits from a mobile device located in the public cellular network; and

an enterprise gateway server, located in an enterprise network, that communicates with the carrier gateway server;

the carrier gateway server configured to;

send data to the enterprise gateway server for an upcoming communication associated with the dialed digits;

the enterprise gateway server configured to;

receive the data including a destination, from the carrier gateway server;

connect a second call leg to the destination with a first call leg from the carrier gateway server;

wherein the enterprise gateway server comprises an origination route delay system including access to historical destination routing time data wherein the enterprise gateway server is configured to use the historical destination routing time data to decide when to route the second call leg towards the destination in advance of the first call leg having been routed to the enterprise gateway.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the enterprise gateway server comprises a destination route system storing historical destination routing time data based on destination data, wherein the enterprise gateway server is configured to use the historical destination routing time data to initiate the second call leg.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the enterprise gateway server comprises a route history system storing historical route timing data based on route data, wherein the enterprise gateway server is configured to use the historical route timing data to initiate the second call leg.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the enterprise gateway server comprises a device route system storing historical device routing data based on mobile device data associated with the data of the destination data, wherein the enterprise gateway server is configured to use the historical device routing data to initiate the second call leg.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the decision when to route the second call leg towards the destination in advance of the first call leg having been routed to the enterprise gateway is performed in order to minimize a time to connect to the destination.

6. A method for executing originating services comprising:

receiving, by a carrier gateway server located in a public cellular network, dialed digits from a mobile device located in the public cellular network, wherein the carrier gateway server communicates with a mobile switching network;

retrieving historical device route time data associated with one or more prior time intervals required to establish the second call leg to a predetermined class of mobile device.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 comprising instructions for completing a route from the carrier gateway server to the enterprise gateway server based on the historical data.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 comprising instructions for wherein the decision when to route the second call leg towards the destination in advance of the first call leg having been routed to the enterprise gateway is performed in order to minimize a time to connect to the destination.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 comprising instructions for storing call routing time data at the enterprise gateway server based on a time required to complete the second call leg from the enterprise gateway server to at least one of:
