Abstract
A method and system for completing the authentication process in a second communication network (such as Wi-Fi or WiMAX) utilizes a user credential of a first communication network, such as GSM, UMTS, CDMA, or LTE. Preferably, the user credential is a SIM card, a USIM card, a R-UIM card, or a functionally similar component. The system includes a client and an authentication platform that retrieves Service State information of the user credential in the first communication network and passes the information to the authentication platform of the second communication network. The client is granted access to the second communication network after the authentication platform validates the client's service and subscription status with the first communication network.
