1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a first component of a gateway General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) support node (GGSN) deployed in a carrier gateway server, of a carrier network, a request from a mobile device to establish a data session between the first component of the GGSN and a second component of the GGSN deployed in an enterprise gateway server of an enterprise network,
wherein the first component of the GGSN and the second component of the GGSN together form a single GGSN whose functions are split into a first set of functions carried out in carrier network and a second set of functions carried out in enterprise network;
connecting, by the first component of the GGSN, the first set of functions with a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) in the carrier network;
establishing, by the first component of the GGSN, a secure tunnel between the between the SGSN and the second component of the GGSN;
transmitting, by the first component of the GGSN via the secure tunnel, data from the mobile device to the enterprise network during the data session; and
implementing security and encryption specific to requirements of the enterprise network via the second set of functions.
