Transmitting data via a private sub-network of a service provider network

A system comprising:

• a first device to:
• receive data associated with a second device from within a first network and independently of a second network,
• the second device corresponding to a machine-to-machine device and including a sensor or an application to form or process a data record;
• establish a bearer between the first device and a particular user device, of a plurality of user devices, in accordance with a bearer policy;
• and
• provide the data towards the particular user device via a first sub-network, of a plurality of sub-networks, of the second network and via the bearer,
• the first sub-network being independent of a second sub-network of the plurality of sub-networks,
• the second sub-network permitting user device data to be transmitted between the plurality of user devices,
• the first sub-network and the second sub-network consuming different levels of network resources.

A computer-readable medium for storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• a plurality of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors associated with a first device, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive data associated with a second device from within a first network and independently of a second network,
• the second device including a sensor or an application to form or process a data record,
• the first network being a sensor network local to the first device and the second device,
• the second network being a service provider network,
• determine a class associated with the data;
• establish a bearer between the first device and a particular user device, of a plurality of user devices, in accordance with a bearer policy,
• the bearer policy being based on the class and identifying a Quality of Service or a level of network resources to provide for the transmission of the data;
• provide the data towards the particular user device via a first sub-network, of a plurality of sub-networks, of the second network and via the bearer;
• the first sub-network being independent of a second sub-network of the plurality of sub-networks,
• the second sub-network permitting user device data to be transmitted between the plurality of user devices,
• the first sub-network and the second sub-network consuming different levels of network resources.
