Abstract:
Systems and methods to provide connectivity by a user device to a WiFi network based at least in part on determining the location of the user device are disclosed. The user device may determine its current location and send a location message indicating its current location to a mobile network server via a mobile communication network. The mobile network server may determine if there are available WiFi access points at the current location of the user device. If the mobile network server determines that there is an available WiFi access point to which the user device may connect at its current location, then the mobile network server may communicate association information of that WiFi network to the user device. The user device may receive the association information and connect to the available WiFi access point using the association information. The user device may turn on its WiFi radio prior to connecting to the WiFi access point. Once connected, the user device may seamlessly transition any applications running thereon to use communications bandwidth from the WiFi network from using communications bandwidth of the mobile communications network.
