Gateway Selection Based on Geographical Location

A user device, comprising:

• one or more memory devices to store a set of instructions;
• and
• one or more processors to execute the instructions, to:
• identify a geographical location of the user device;
• output information regarding the location of the user device;
• receive, based on outputting the information regarding the location of the user device, information identifying a gateway device associated with a cellular network;
• generate a first data packet, the first data packet being directed to a destination associated with the cellular network;
• generate a second data packet based on the first data packet, the second data packet indicating that a destination of the second data packet is the gateway device;
• and
• output the second data packet to the gateway device, wherein the gateway device extracts the first data packet and outputs a third data packet, that is based on the first data packet, toward the destination indicated by the first data packet.

A computer-readable medium, comprising:

• a plurality of computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive information regarding a geographical location of a user device;
• compare the geographical location of the user device to geographical locations of a set of gateway devices, the gateway devices being associated with a cellular network, the gateway devices communicatively coupling one or more network devices associated with the cellular network to an access point that is not associated with the cellular network;
• select a particular gateway device, of the set of gateway devices, based on the geographical location of the user device and the geographical locations of the particular gateway device;
• and
• store or output information regarding the selected particular gateway device.
