Abstract

An approach is provided for configuring one or more mobile devices to multiple access points and/or services associated with at least one structure. An access platform determines status information associated with at least one structure, wherein the at least one structure is associated with one or more access points located in one part of the at least one structure, one or more other access points located in another part of the at least one structure, or a combination thereof. The access platform then processes and/or facilitates a processing of the status information to cause, at least in part, an activation, a deactivation, or a combination thereof of the one or more access points, one or more services associated with the one or more access points, the one or more other access points, one or more other services associated with the one or more other access points, or a combination thereof.
