Abstract
A mobile device may include first and second communication interfaces. The mobile device may receive, from another device, a dispatch message to receive data from an Internet of Things (IoT) device. The mobile device may send, to the other device and based on the dispatch message, a device key. The mobile device may receive, from the other device, a session ticket generated by the other device. The IoT device may have previously received a copy of the session ticket. The mobile device may send the session ticket to the IoT device. The mobile device may receive data, from the IoT device and via the first communication interface, based on the session ticket matching the copy of the session ticket. The mobile device may format the data for transmission via the second communication interface. The mobile device may send, via the second communication interface, the data to a network device.
