Abstract:
Mobile device access to a guest network is facilitated. A method comprises: detecting a home network having an associated access point based on the device being within a first defined proximity of the associated access point; and transmitting information indicative of a request to establish a guest network via the associated access point of the home network and providing authentication information for an entity associated with the device. The method also comprises establishing the guest network according to one or more assigned resources based on receipt of an acknowledgement message received from a cloud device, wherein receipt of the acknowledgment message from the cloud device is based on cloud device determination that the entity associated with the device is authenticated and based on receipt of an authorization by an entity associated with the home network.
