Patent ID: 8452960

Claim:
A static network device for delivering content to at least one mobile node, comprising: a transceiver module adapted to receive a device identifier over a public network from the at least one mobile node, the device identifier being based on a combination of at least one user-configurable parameter and at least one non-user-configurable parameter of the at least one mobile node; at least one processor operatively coupled to the transceiver module; and a memory module operatively coupled to the at least one processor and comprising executable code for the at least one processor to: access a database of authorized device identifiers corresponding to known mobile nodes; establish, in response to the received device identifier matching one of the authorized device identifiers, a secure private network (SPN) with the at least one mobile node, the established SPN tunneling across at least one segment of the public network; obtain the content for the at least one mobile node; and send the content to the at least one mobile node via the SPN.
