Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable improved network security by authenticating the identity of the user initiating the network activities. A network operations center of a wireless communication network system may implement an authentication service to monitor for network activities initiated via communications through a router of the wireless communication network system. The router may identify communications to be authenticated and provide the communication and / or associated data to the authentication service. The authentication service may analyze the data based on usage and performance data associated with the router(s) as well as user profile data associated with the user to verify that the user is the sender of the communication, thus authenticating the identity of the user. The authentication may then be communicated to third-party entities associated with the network activity to enable such third-party entities to confirm or deny the network activity.

Systems and methods for coordinating and controlling vehicles, for example heavy trucks, to follow closely behind each other, or linking to form a platoon. In one aspect, on-board controllers in each vehicle interact with vehicular sensors to monitor and control, for example, relative distance, relative acceleration or deceleration, and speed. In some aspects, vehicle onboard systems supply various data (breadcrumbs) to a Network Operations Center (NOC), which in turn provides data (authorization data) to the vehicles to facilitate platooning. The NOC suggests vehicles for platooning based on, for example, travel forecasts and analysis of relevant roadways to identify platoonable roadway segments. The NOC also can provide traffic, roadway, weather, or system updates, as well as various instructions. In some aspects, a mesh network ensures improved communication among vehicles and with the NOC. In some aspects, a vehicle onboard system may provide the authorization data.

A system for providing dual network address translation, comprising a Network Operations Center (NOC) which has a memory component, wherein the memory component stores logic which, when executed by a processor, causes the system to perform at least the following: Receiving data from a user workstation over a wide area network, wherein the data is received via a first Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunnel, wherein the data is encrypted using VPN encryption, and wherein the data is assigned a Unique Private Internet Protocol (UPIP) address that overlaps with a customer-defined private IP address and includes a security barrier; Removing VPN encryption from the data; Using a Twin-NAT-Network Address Translation (NAT) component to remove the UPIP address and replace it with the customer-defined private IP address from a private network at a destination; Packaging the data with the customer-defined private IP address in a privately defined protocol that includes the public source address and the public destination address; and Using a second VPN tunnel to transmit the data to the destination.

A system for providing a ReNAT Virtual Private Network (VPN), comprising: a ReNAT Virtual Private Network (VPN) component implemented in a Network Operations Center (NOC) and storing logic which, when executed by a processor, causes the system to perform at least the following: receive, at the NOC, external packets from a client workstation on a private network; provide source addressing for the external packets to identify the private network from which the external packets were received; receive data from the external packets from a ReNAT Twin NAT, wherein the ReNAT Twin NAT contains both a public destination address and a public source address for the data;and decrypting the data and forwarding the data with the public source address to the ReNAT Twin NAT, wherein the NOC provides a Virtual Private Network within the NOC to support communication of the data between a remote computing device over a wide area network and the client workstation in the private network; and wherein the ReNAT Twin NAT assigns a Unique Private IP Address (UPIP) that overlaps with a customer-assigned private IP address, and wherein the UPIP is unique within the NOC and is mapped to a public IP by a session manager.

Technologies for collecting and presenting telemetry data, including first tier data and second tier data, associated with one or more sources in a singular comprehensive view using a data catalog and a service catalog of a data management platform are described. One method collects telemetry data from a plurality of different data sources in different network domains in a cellular network, and stores the telemetry data in an object store. The method uses a crawler to generate a data catalog from the telemetry data stored in the object store by automatically discovering, indexing, and cataloging the first tier data and the second tier data from the plurality of different data sources in the different network domains. The method presents a graphical user interface (GUI) with real-time updates of geospatial information for at least one of the first tier data or the second tier data in the singular comprehensive view.

System for providing Redundant Network Address Translation (ReNAT) communication, which includes a Network Operations Center (NOC), wherein the NOC includes: a computing device comprising a processor and a memory for storing logic, and comprising at least the following: a first private network component that initiates communication with a private network; a ReNAT Twin Network Address Translation (NAT) coupled with the first private network component, wherein the ReNAT Twin NAT translates between a customer-assigned private Internet Protocol (IP) address and a Unique Private IP (UPIP) address, the UPIP overlapping with a customer-assigned private IP address space and the UPIP being unique in the NOC; a private ReNAT network component coupled with the ReNAT Twin NAT, wherein the private ReNAT network component provides a source IP address to the ReNAT Twin NAT; and a communication logic that enables the system to support communication with a workstation that has a ReNAT Twin NAT client, wherein the address translation is performed by the ReNAT Twin NAT client, wherein the ReNAT Twin NAT addresses in the data are mapped to customer-defined private addresses, and wherein the private ReNAT network component transmits the data to the private network.

A real time, or near real-time, system and method for monitoring aircraft data link performance and comparing to compliance to mandated standards. For example, Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) and ADS-C traffic performance is monitored while the aircraft is in flight, in real time or near real-time. Datalink message exchange end-to-end performance is monitored and compared to mandated performance for a particular airspace. Out- of-compliance conditions may be immediately reported to a Network Operations Center (NOC) for immediate corrective action. The datalink monitoring tool of the present invention significantly simplifies the process of monitoring data link compliance by providing near-real time message exchange statistics, automated alerting and reports of compliance status, and when non-compliance occurs, identification of the individual component that contribute to the non- compliance.

A data management platform (DMP) operates as an abstraction layer for observability of telemetry data in a cellular network. The DMP collects telemetry data from different data sources in different network domains and stores the telemetry data in an object store. A crawler generates a data catalog from the telemetry data by automatically discovering, indexing, and cataloging the telemetry data. The data catalog provides observability to a plurality of subscriber services without requiring direct connections between the subscriber services and the data sources. The DMP receives requests from a first subscriber service and a second subscriber service to access the telemetry data for developing respective services on top of the abstraction layer. The DMP provides the telemetry data to the subscriber services via the data catalog while isolating connections to the data sources, enabling the subscriber services to develop respective services without duplicating data collection efforts.
