14 DAY TRIAL // Telenor and The Cloud have entered into an agreement to offer wireless broadband Internet access at more than 8000 Cloud wireless public hotspots around Europe, including airports, hotels, city zones and railway stations across Sweden, Denmark, Germany and the UK.
This deal will accelerate The Cloud Nordic's plans to build WiFi network coverage which will enable mobile users to connect to a broadband service whenever they need it. In the first phase, The Cloud will build 800 new hotspots in Sweden and 500 hotspots in Denmark, all available for Telenor's mobile business customers.
Telenor customers will now be able to connect to a true Pan-Nordic WiFi network and roam onto the Cloud's coverage in Germany and UK. This means that a customer can use the service in Stockholm Central station, board a plane at Skavsta airport to London or Germany and log on again, using the same account and log in procedures, even when he arrives in the centre of London or Munich.
Telenor will also offer a SMS solution where Telenor and non-Telenor customers can buy access for a short period of time. Telenor customers will be able to access the network through their mobile subscription and connect automatically using Telenor's software client.
"Gaining access to The Cloud's market-leading pan-European infrastructure was a critical factor for us. We chose The Cloud as our European WiFi partner because of their commitment to the Nordic region, the quality of their site estate in the UK and Germany, plus their leading edge technology and customer orientation. Working with The Cloud, we are confident that we are future-proofing our service in an extremely cost effective manner," added Anders Hauglie-Hanssen at Telenor.
