ABSTRACT:
Systems, methods, and computer readable media are provided for automating the process of provisioning and maintaining Access Point Names (“APNs”) for use in digital networks, such as GPRS networks. A plurality of network elements including but not limited to GGSN tables, router tables, firewall systems, VPN tunnels, and Home Location Registry (“HLR”) tables can be provisioned and maintained via a centralized system. The invention integrates centralized logging of provisioning, maintenance, and access events, as well as acknowledgement from provisioned network elements, for enhanced security, reporting, and troubleshooting. The invention thus ensures accuracy and reduces operational costs of integrating mobile communications systems with digital networks.
