Abstract
A system for controlling access of a mobile terminal to a communication network including a set of terminals, wherein said mobile terminal obtains access to the network as a result of a successful authentication procedure. The system includes an authenticator module for performing the authentication procedure of the mobile terminal and a communication mechanism configured for making the successful outcome of the authentication procedure known to the terminals in the set. The mobile terminal is thus permitted to access the network via any of the terminals in the set based on the authentication procedure.
