Abstract
A router of a private cellular network is configured to receive data packets from a plurality of endpoints; analyze the data packets to determine a corresponding source of each data packet; determine whether each corresponding source is a valid source; drop a data packet for which the corresponding source is invalid; for a data packet received from a valid source, determine whether to process the data packet internally or forward the data packet for external processing and route the data packet to a corresponding destination, the corresponding destination being one of a local enterprise network or a corresponding home cellular network of the valid source from which the data packet is received, wherein the private cellular network is configured to service a confined physical location in which home cellular networks of data packets received from valid sources do not provide cellular connectivity that meets a threshold level of cellular service.
