Systems, methods, and computer readable media are provided for automating
the process of provisioning and maintaining Access Point Names ("APNs")
for use in digital networks, such as GPRS networks. A plurality of
network elements including but not limited to GGSN tables, router tables,
firewall systems, VPN tunnels, and Home Location Registry ("HLR") tables
can be provisioned and maintained via a centralized system. The invention
integrates centralized logging of provisioning, maintenance, and access
events, as well as acknowledgement from provisioned network elements, for
enhanced security, reporting, and troubleshooting. The invention thus
ensures accuracy and reduces operational costs of integrating mobile
communications systems with digital networks.
