KT makes use of Redback’s Dynamic Subscriber Identification technology for seamless identification and authentication of subscribers and broadband-enabled devices, ranging from home PCs to mobile computers, game consoles, set-top boxes and IP telephones, across all modes of access, including KT’s existing ADSL, VDSL, Metro Ethernet and WiFi. Dynamic Subscriber Identification utilizes PPP, DHCP and other means to identify subscribers and devices. http://www.redback.com
