Sonera has been a very early supplier of Operator Wireless LAN, turning this exciting technology from a potential threat into an asset and money-maker. The operator saw the immense potential of providing Wireless LANs in public places. Today, it has over 50 Operator Wireless LAN access zones, at traffic 'hotspots' such as airports, hotels, ships, conference centres, cafes, cinemas and like. All are areas in which the technology ís core market, mobile business people who are already high speed GSM data users, tend to congregate. Sonera has found that at airports, subscribers use the services for between 10 and 30 minutes per session, while in a hotel they might spend from 30 minutes to up to one hour.
