Systems and methods for wireless communication network control

A method for wireless communication network control, comprising:

• receiving, at a mobility manager remote from an information technology (IT) device, uplink data from a first application client on the IT device, via at least one of a plurality of wireless communication links available to the IT device;
• sending the uplink data from the mobility manager to an application server;
• receiving, at the mobility manager, downlink data from the application server;
• sending the downlink data from the mobility manager to the first application client on the IT device, via at least one of the plurality of wireless communication links available to the IT device;
• determining network performance metrics;
• determining a first steering policy at least partially based on the network performance metrics, the first steering policy specifying a first allocation of data among the plurality of wireless communication links available to the IT device;
• and
• sending the first steering policy to at least one of the IT device and the mobility manager.
