Abstract
A method for providing network connectivity to at least one client device includes: connecting the at least one client device to an access gateway device to create a local area network of the access gateway device; and connecting the access gateway device to an internet protocol edge function. The at least one client device is connected to a telecommunications network via the access gateway device and the internet protocol edge function. In order to provide the network connectivity to the at least one client device, a network connectivity link is provided, the network connectivity link comprising: a local area network-segment between the at least one client device and the access gateway device, and a wide area network-segment between the access gateway device and the internet protocol edge function.
