<p>Disclosed is a virtual gateway for communicating between one or more remote machine to machine (M2M) capillary networks and a local base transceiver station (BTS). The virtual gateway comprising: an interface for communicating with a local base transceiver station, the interface emulating a Radio Link Control (RLC) protocol in said communication; an interface for communicating with one or more remote capillary networks; and a SIM emulation component for emulating a SIM card, the SIM card being used in association with the interface for communicating with the local BTS. The virtual gateway may be co-located with the local BTS, which allows the SIM emulation and associated chipset to be supplied from an existing power source.</p> |
