ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system and an apparatus for enabling a user device or a plurality of user devices to communicate with a gateway service device. The system may include at least one user device, at least one remote access device, a communication network, a central access device, and the gateway service device. The system operates such as if the gateway service device and the user device are on the same network. The data may be transmitted from the user device to the at least one remote access device where it is encapsulated to allow the data to be routed over the communication network. The central access device may receive the data and de-encapsulate the data in order to transfer the data to the gateway service device.
