1. A data caching system comprising:
- an edge server with at least one processor and memory coupled to a domain name server (DNS) and disposed within a cell site of a cellular network;
a cache coupled to the edge server; and
,a data caching module executing in memory of the edge server, the module comprising program code enabled to calculate a time period for how long a mobile device will be serviced by the cell site upon receiving travel data for the mobile device from the cellular network, to calculate how much data will be used by the mobile device for the calculated time period, and to cache the data within the cache to be used by the mobile device for the time period during which the mobile device remains serviced by the cell site.

Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for caching data in a cellular network is provided. Information from a cellular network regarding location, speed, direction of travel, and bandwidth for a user can be used to determine how much data should be cached for the user. More specifically, the time period for how long a user will be in a cell of a cellular network can be calculated using information received from the cellular network. The calculated time period can be used to calculate how much data will be used by a user for the calculated time period with only the amount of data needed for the time period being cached.
