Abstract
Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for implementing a cloud-based private area network. In aspects, various customer devices may be connected to a cloud-based carrier or wireless carrier. The carrier may use identification information associated with each customer device to group devices by, for example, customer account. For each customer account, the carrier may create and/or assign a customer-specific gateway. The customer gateway may enable devices identified as associated with an account to detect and communicate securely with each other over a cloud-based private area network. Additionally, each customer gateway may provide several functions typically found in private or home gateways and local area networks (LANs) to the devices associated with an account.
