SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVISIONING A WIRELESS DEVICE TO ONLY BE ABLE TO ACCESS NETWORK SERVICES WITHIN A SPECIFIC LOCATION

摘要

A system and method for provisioning wireless devices such that they are only capable of accessing network services when in a specified location. A device surveys the current location of the device for existing base stations and stores a corresponding network environment profile. After the profile is stored, network services will only be provided to the device if the current network profile matches the stored profile.

1. A method of permissioning access to a network based upon the location of an electronic device, comprising:
surveying a network environment to determine existence of one or more network elements representative of a current network environment in response to one of a local or remote trigger; comparing the current network environment to a predetermined default network environment for the electronic device; if the current network environment matches the predetermined default network environment, receiving access to network services; and if the current network environment does not match the predetermined ii default network environment, being denied access to network services.
