Abstract
Aspects of the present invention are directed towards a system and method for facilitating local data service via communication exchange system where, within an ecosystem of one or more operators, a gateway is deployed by an operator for facilitating local data services for users that either the operator's local subscriber and inbound roamer. The gateway connects to the operators via VPN tunnel to facilitate local data services. The communication exchange also includes an interface that maintains a bi-directional connection with the gateway to exchange information related to roaming data services, and a bi-directional connection with users via their mobile devices' user interfaces.

- and
- an interface maintaining a bi-directional connection with the gateway to exchange information related to roaming data services, and a bi-directional connection with a user via a mobile device user interface.
A method of facilitating local data services for users, the method comprising:
- receiving a location update message of a user at a gateway, the gateway being a part of communication exchange system having an ecosystem of one or more operators;
- wherein the user is one of a local subscriber and an inbound roamer of the operator;
- and
- establishing a virtual private network (VPN) tunnel over a data connection of the one or more operators for the user to enable local data services, the local data services being enabled via an interface that maintains a bi-directional connection with the gateway and a mobile device user interface.
