Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to provide network access credentials and network access to a remote device via a proxy device. In some example embodiments, a method is provided that comprises receiving a request for network access credentials from a remote device. In some example embodiments, the network access credentials comprise identification information related to at least one SIM. The method of this embodiment may also include determining whether network access credentials are available for the remote device. The method of this embodiment may also include causing the network access credentials to be provided to the remote device in an instance in which network access credentials are available for the remote device. In some example embodiments, the network access credentials enable access to a network by the remote device via one or more proxy devices.

Abstract: A system, wherein a mobile station can switch to an IP access protocol, whereupon data transmitted between the mobile station and a mobile services switching centre change over from a base station system, reached using radio communication, to being transmitted through an interworking unit (40) coupled in connection with an IP connection and the mobile services switching centre. When the mobile station switches to the access network, it transfers the dynamic data relating to the mobile station's state and the calls in progress (state machine) to the interworking unit.

Abstract: A wireless intranet office (WIO) concept is disclosed, which integrates an IP based Intranet environment (27) and GSM network providing mobile telephones (21) with access to GSM through the GSM network or via the intranet. Access through the intranet to the GSM MSC (26) is provided by a WIO interworking unit (24) which may comprise several network entities (e.g. intranet mobile cluster (241), intranet location register (242), WIO gatekeeper (243), WIO gateway (244) and H.323 gateway). A dual mode terminal for such a system is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention is a method and system for obtaining connection to a packet data network (14). The invention includes inputting a user request to a first network (10) which requests that the user (12) be authorized for connection to the packet data network through a second network; transmitting from the first network to the second network the user request and an authorization of payment to the second network by the first network for the user's use of the packet data network; transmitting from the second network to the first network authentication information granting the user authentication through the second network to the packet data network; and transmitting the authentication information from the first network to the user which informs the user that authentication to obtain connection to the packet data network has been granted.

Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, facilitates authentication of at least a portion of a Bluetooth-based, or other, communication system by a mobile terminal. A manner is provided by which to provide to the network portion of the communication system unique identifiers which identify the Bluetooth transceiver circuitry of the mobile terminal. Once provided to the network portion, authentication procedures by which to authenticate the network portion are carried out.

Abstract: The invention relates to a terminal (A), which comprises at least one network interface card (NIC1, NIC2, NIC3) for setting up a data transmission connection to a communication network (NW1, NW2, NW3, MNW) for packet switched data transmission, and means (PD) for forming packets of the information to be transmitted and for unpacking information from the received packets. The terminal (A) is allocated at least one first address identifying the terminal (A), and at least one data network-specific second address.
