Abstract

See full text

A system and method are disclosed for managing the connectivity of a mobile device to a plurality of network connectivity locations. A mobile device comprising a network connectivity manager accesses a repository of predetermined network connectivity management information stored on a network host. The network connectivity manager uses a first predetermined subset of the information to discover the presence of a first network and then manages connectivity between the mobile device and the first discovered network. A second predetermined subset of information is then used to discover the presence of a second network. The network connectivity manager then transfers the mobile device's connectivity from the first network to the second network. Transfer of connectivity is dependent upon successful submission and acceptance of predetermined user credentials and each network's compliance with predetermined connectivity policies.
