WLAN ACCES VIA SIM-CARD AUTHENTICATION: ERICSSON VIEW

WLAN access with a SIM-card as authentication will be commercially available toward the end of the year. Last year there were 24,000 WLAN hot spots around the world and that the number could grow to 100,000 in 2006. Due to the WLAN's limited range, it cannot replace 3G, as it would take 10,000 WLAN base stations to cover the same area as one 3G base station. But Wi-Fi can complement 3G, especially since the price of WLAN chipsets has come down to $12 and network access will soon be simplified through the use of a phone SIM card.
