In this paper, we present a new framework that links the two worlds of wired and cellular users sharing systems. The approach is to propose an easy gateway that enables the use of cellular networks based services by wireline users and applications. The idea is to use a mobile terminal or wireless equipment for sharing cellular services, available thanks to its cellular network, to other users that use the wireline Internet. The software application acts as a gateway between the cellular and the wired network; it is responsible for supporting the services provided by the wireless network and make them accessible and usable, in a standard and easy way, by anyone on the wireline network. The gateway software can be integrated easily on any complex architecture since it can interact with any cellular modem. The paper describes an implementation prototype where some examples of services, such as the ability of using messaging services and calls streaming, are experimented. The proposed platform combines different standards to guarantee the use of our gateway in heterogeneous environments.
