A method, a system, and a local network switching device for providing
access for a mobile communication terminal and the mobile communication
terminal at a moved location to an Internet network via wireless local
networks. The mobile communication terminal is moved from a first network
to a second network. The WLAN handover, necessary therefore, takes place
efficiently and in a robust manner, by providing access for the mobile
communication terminal in the first network, by transmitting a
device-specific address to a plurality of bordering networks, and by
configuring further accesses on the plurality of bordering networks.
After moving the mobile communication terminal, access to an Internet
network can be continued immediately via the second network, via the
local network switching unit of the second network, and via the local
network switching unit of the first network.
