WIRELESS ACCESS POINT
First Claim
1. A cellular basestation, configured to allow a device to connect thereto over a wireless interface,wherein the cellular basestation is able to establish a connection to a cellular network such that the cellular network requires an identity token for authorisation, andwherein the cellular basestation has a connection to a Wide Area Network, such that it can route data traffic from connected devices to a remote service over the Wide Area Network and,in the event that data traffic from a connected device is intended for the remote service, the cellular basestation is adapted to insert information derived from the identity token into the data traffic, and to forward the modified data traffic to the remote service.

Abstract
A wireless access point may be in the form of a femtocell basestation in a cellular network. In order to establish a connection into the cellular network, an identity token is required for authorisation. A remote service, accessible over a Wide Area Network such as the interne, can register with the access point. When a connected user attempts to connect to the remote service, information derived from the identity token is inserted into the data traffic. Where the identity token identifies the access point, the remote service can return location-specific information. Where the identity token identifies the connected user, the remote service can return subscriber-specific information. The access point can insert information derived directly from the identity token, or it can use the identity token to access a service identity registry, and can then insert the service identity into the data traffic.
