T-Mobile UK Brings Wi-Fi To Airports
Posted: 12th May, 2004 By: MarkJ
T-Mobile has installed a number of public access broadband wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) hotspots at the international departure lounges of Heathrow Terminals 3, 4 and the Gatwick and Glasgow airports:
-Mobile says this will give them access to 100 million travellers, and hinted that the move is part of a wider mobile strategy that will also involve 3G.
"We are building a multi-speed network for a multi-media world, which will integrate 2G, 3G and Wi-Fi. Our new Wi-Fi hot spot covering prime BAA airports brings us a step closer to our goal, and allows business travellers to maximise downtime while on the move," said Brian McBride, managing director of T-Mobile UK.
The deal puts T-Mobile head-to-head with BT Openzone, which already operates hot spots at Heathrow and Gatwick and is in the process of installing networks in 80 British Airways executive lounges worldwide.
