WLAN

Wireless LAN (WLAN) from O2 provides you with wireless broadband Internet access at public locations or hotspot across the UK and beyond.

This means that without any wires or dial up connection you can:

• Send and Receive email
• Browse the Internet or your company intranet at broadband speeds; connecting quickly and easily.
• Access your company systems and LAN* (via your existing VPN)

WLAN is quick and easy to set up and allows you to be more productive without having to visit the office to synchronise email or download large documents.

As most laptops already have the WLAN capability built in, you can usually use your existing IT infrastructure and equipment eliminating the need for further investment.

We've made using our WLAN service really simple and easy.

• Check you have the WLAN capability on the device and then choose the tariff best suited to you (see below). Are you wanting to use WLAN regularly or just as a one-off?
• Contact your O2 Service Provider to activate WLAN (you will find their number on your bill). You will need to register each mobile user on the account. Once requested, O2 will aim to activate the service within one hour.
• If you are not an O2 customer or not an O2 business customer then you can use the Premium SMS service (see below).

We offer a range of packages for business customers either as one-offs or subscriptions. Prices shown exclude VAT.

• 30 minutes to 4 hours - must be used within 30 days
• All tariffs include unlimited usage within the specified period

*  Fair usage policy applies - please refer to Terms and Conditions

**  Subscription not required - only available at The Cloud hotspots

*** 30 min subscription per month is now also included FREE with a selection of our Business Data Tariffs

Any WLAN subscription added to a DATA ONLY subscription i.e. voice is not enabled, must use any WLAN session with our O2 Connection Manager software.

O2 Connection Manager is a client application that runs on your Wi-Fi enabled laptop. It enhances

your experience on connecting to the internet so you can easily access your corporate network,

send emails as well as many other applications.

O2 Connection Manager lets you connect easily to WLAN Hotspots, but it also manages your mobile Wide Area Network (WAN) connections such as GPRS, 3G, EDGE, HSDPA as well as launching applications automatically.
