What can you do at a wireless hotspot?
Get online at broadband speeds - you can access the Internet at high speed, surf the web, download and upload files – pretty much everything you can do from the Internet at your desk.
Send and receive email - with the wireless hotspot service you can send and receive web-based email.
Access your company Intranet and email - if your business already provides Internet-based access to your company's intranet and email you can access these services at the wireless hotspots (talk to your IT administrator if you're not sure). We recommend a virtual private office solution for security reasons.
How do I connect?
All you need to connect to the Internet at a wireless hotspot is a WiFi enabled device. Many laptops and PDAs now come WiFi enabled (e.g. a Centrino chipset) however if your laptop isn't WiFi enabled you can buy a wireless laptop card.
You'll then need to install and configure any necessary software on your laptop. To log on at a wireless hotspot, you can buy a Wireless pre-paid card and enter its number, or simply enter your credit card details.
