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.
