Abstract
Disclosed are techniques for managing mobile devices, such as cellular telephones, tablets, and laptop computers, deployed on different operator networks, such as cellular networks, permissioned Wi-Fi networks, LANs, and WANs. The techniques include receiving, at an interface module, a request identifying a mobile device and one of a plurality of operator networks associated with the device. The request manages the mobile device by initiating a change in a configuration state of the device on the associated operator network. The techniques further include selecting one of a plurality of adapter modules each configured to communicate with a particular one of the plurality of operator networks based on the request. The techniques also include bridging, using the selected adapter module, communication between the interface module and the operator network associated with the mobile device, such as transmitting the request to the network and subsequently receiving a response from the network.
