Facilitating dynamic private communication networks

Abstract

Private communication networks are facilitated. One method includes broadcasting, by a first device, to an access point device associated with a first network, a first signal comprising an identifier for a second network, wherein the access point device of the first network foregoes broadcast of a name of the first network, and wherein the first device is located at a first location and a second device is located at a second location remote from the first location. The first device and the second device are associated with the second network. The method also includes receiving a second signal indicative of a broadcast of the name of the second network based on an authentication of the identifier for the second network and key data representing a key for the second network; and connecting to a network device of the second network in response to the receiving the second signal.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 facilitating, by a device comprising a processor, transmitting, to an access point device associated with a first network that is a hidden network, a first signal comprising an identifier and key information representing a key for a second network, wherein the transmitting is initiated in response to detection by the device that the device is located within a defined distance of a defined business establishment; and   facilitating, by the device, receiving a second signal indicative of a broadcast of an identity of the second network based on an authentication of network devices of the second network.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the second network is a residential home network. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein a defined amount of bandwidth associated with the residential home network is adjusted based on bandwidth requests of a first device, of the network devices, and a second device communicatively coupled to the residential home network. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the access point device of the first network broadcasts only after the authentication of the network devices of the second network. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein a first device is located at a first location and a second device is located at a second location remote from the first location. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the network devices comprise a first device and a second device associated with the second network. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 establishing, by the device, a secure link between a first device and the access point device.   
     
     
         8 . An apparatus, comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:   transmitting, to an access point device associated with a first network that is a hidden network, a first signal comprising an identifier and key information representing a key for a second network, wherein the transmitting is initiated in response to detection by the apparatus that the apparatus is located within a defined distance of a defined business establishment; and   receiving a second signal indicative of a broadcast of an identity of the second network based on an authentication of the second network.   
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 communicating, via the access point device and a network device of the second network, with a device, wherein the hidden network is a network that forgoes the broadcast of the identity of the network until after the authentication of the second network.   
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the device comprises a first device located at a first location, wherein a second device is located at a second location remote from the first location, and wherein the second location is located at a residential address associated with the first device and the second device. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the second device comprises a mobile device. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 connecting to a network device of the second network via a wireless router device communicatively coupled to a first device of the second network and a second device of the second network.   
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein a first link between a first device of the second network and the access point device is a first encrypted link and a second link between the access point device and a provisioning server device is a second encrypted link different than the first encrypted link. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the identifier is a first name, and wherein authentication of the first name for the second network and the key information for the second network is facilitated in response to information identifying a second name of the second network being located by a provisioning server device communicatively coupled to the access point device. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the access point device of the first network broadcasts only after the authentication of the second network. 
     
     
         16 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 transmitting, to an access point device associated with a first network that is a hidden network, a first signal comprising an identifier and key information representing a key for a second network, wherein the transmitting is initiated in response to detection that a defined business establishment is located within a defined distance threshold of the processor; and   receiving a second signal indicative of a broadcast of an identity of the second network based on an authentication of devices of the second network.   
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 establishing a secure link between the access point device and a provisioning server.   
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 16 , wherein a device of the devices comprises a mobile device. 
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 16 , wherein transmitting the first signal comprising the identifier and the key information representing the key for the second network comprises transmitting the first signal comprising the identifier and the key information representing the key for the second network at defined intervals. 
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 receiving an instruction to transmit the identifier and the key information, wherein transmitting the first signal comprising the identifier and the key information representing the key for the second network comprises transmitting the first signal comprising the identifier and the key information representing the key for the second network in response to receiving the instruction.
