A communications network, comprising a network server configured to send network connectivity policies to one or more cellular devices in a cellular network defining subscribed local wireless networks (LWNs); and an enterprise server configured to send enterprise connectivity policies to each of the one or more cellular devices defining one or more rules for accessing LWNs. The network server is configured to receive notifications from each of the one or more cellular devices, when said devices detect a first one of said subscribed LWNs. In response to a notification from a cellular device that a subscribed LWN has been detected, the network server is arranged to send a request to the enterprise server to update an enterprise connectivity policy associated with the cellular devices to it to connect to the subscribed LWNs. In response to the request from the network server, the enterprise server is configured to update or replace the enterprise connectivity policy on the cellular device to allow connection of that cellular device to the said subscribed LWNs. May be used for offloading cellular traffic to local wireless networks owned by entities other than the cellular network provider. |
