Abstract
It is disclosed a method and a capillary gateway, CGW, () capable to determine whether to allow a first machine-to-machine, M2M, device network access. The CGW is adapted to intercept () an authentication request message sent from a M2M device, and intercept () an authentication response message sent from a M2M management service. If the CGW determines that the authentication is successful based on the authentication response message and that there is a valid subscription for the M2M device and the authentication response message is received from a trusted management service, the CGW may allow () the first M2M device network access. Embodiments of the present disclosure have the advantage that disclosure can provide low-powered devices Internet reachability based on user subscriptions in non-traditional scenarios such as where devices are deployed straight out-of-the-box, i.e., without any customization.
