Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for forwarding cellular signaling across a packet-switched network. The system generates signaling according to a cellular protocol for a mobile device and exchanges the cellular signaling with a base station of a home mobile network of the mobile device. The system further detects a triggering condition, encapsulates the cellular signaling in a packet wrapper, and forwards the encapsulated signaling to a virtual base station for the home network via a packet-switched network.
