An APN (Access Point Name) functions as a conduit between a mobile network and the Internet. The APN entity stores information pertaining to the access point names of M2M networks, which devices utilise to establish a connection with IoT applications.
The OpenGate platform has the capacity to receive information regarding the operational status of M2M communications networks from either the Remote Access Servers or delegated Radius Servers.
These diverse types of nodes are able to relay Radius information to the platform, specifically Radius Accounting packets.
Gateway GPRS support nodes are integral components of the mobile operator’s network, possessing the capability to forward RADIUS requests.
