1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a request to establish a data session or a call from a mobile device;
querying an enterprise gateway server in an enterprise network for a data session associated with the mobile device, when a request to establish a data session is received, or call policy associated with the mobile device, when a call is received; and
automatically establishing a secure tunnel between the enterprise gateway server and a carrier gateway server in a carrier network, when the request to establish the data session is received, to provide a secure data session for the mobile device to communicate with at least one node on the enterprise network, wherein the secure tunnel supports selectable security and encryption specific to requirements of the enterprise network.

Abstract
A mobile application gateway for connecting devices on a cellular network with individual networks, such as enterprise voice and data networks and/or residential networks. The effects of the present invention are far reaching in terms of transferring effective call control from the cellular network into the control of the individual network such as the enterprise, and enabling new business models for the purchase of cellular service from a public cellular carrier by an enterprise. The invention may consist of a primarily of core network and services components based on the IMS network architecture, and is backward compatible to support legacy systems in place in current telecom and data networks.

19. Anon-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed causes a processor to perform:
-
receiving a request to establish a data session or a call from a mobile device; querying an enterprise gateway server in an enterprise network for a data session associated with the mobile device, when a request to establish a data session is received, or call policy associated with the mobile device, when a call is received; and automatically establishing a secure tunnel between the enterprise gateway server and a carrier gateway server in a carrier network, when the request to establish the data session is received, to provide a secure data session for the mobile device to communicate with at least one node on the enterprise network, wherein the secure tunnel supports selectable security and encryption specific to requirements of the enterprise network.

20. A system, comprising:
-
a cellular network including a carrier gateway server; an enterprise gateway server, that is queried, in an enterprise network, for a data session or a call policy associated with a mobile device; and wherein the enterprise network includes the enterprise gateway server coupled with the carrier gateway server, which is configured to receive a request to establish a data session associated with the mobile device, when a request to establish a data session is received, or call from the mobile device, when a call is received and wherein a secure tunnel is automatically established between the enterprise gateway server and the carrier gateway server, when the request to establish the data session is received, to provide a secure data session for the mobile device to communicate with at least one node on the enterprise network, and wherein the secure tunnel supports selectable security and encryption specific to requirements of the enterprise network.
