Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for enabling a first end point associated with a first network to communicate with a second end point associated with a second network. In one embodiment, a request to initiate communication from the second end point is received at a short-range wireless device associated with the first end point. The first end point communicates with the second end point through the short-range wireless device to receive a message from the second end point at the short-range wireless device. The message is translated at the short-range wireless device for the first end point.
