The paper provides a service communication concept, which enables remote interaction with networked appliances (NA) attached to a mobile personal area network. The proposed approach is based on the application of the open service initiative (OSGi) together with IETF session initiation protocol (SIP) in the open mobile service gateway executed in a portable mobile terminal device. The problems related to mobility, capabilities of NA and, use of NA were evaluated in the constructed research prototype. Application level mobility is enabled by SIP, NAs are networked in a light way and use of NAs is made easy for remote users by encapsulating the NA features in a block of mobile code.
