Abstract
A platform is provided for connecting to two or more Radio Access Networks (“RAN”). The platform includes a session manager that acts as a central resource. The session manager links to the RANs through one or more controllers, a controller being associated with each RAN to enable monitoring of supply and demand for network resources in relation to the two or more RANs in a defined location. The session manager is operable to apply one or more rules for sharing available network resources across the two or more RANs on a real time or near real time basis thereby providing improve network resource utilization across the two or more RANs and for the respective customers of the two or more RANs in the defined location.
