This year tennis fans visiting Wimbledon will be
able to stay on the ball by connecting to the Internet
via web kiosks, supported by Wireless LAN Access
Points from 3Com Corporation.

Spectators at The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet
Club, Wimbledon, can email match progress to friends,
find the latest scores on the Internet for other courts
and business people can even keep in touch with the
office via three web kiosks positioned beside the Centre
and No. 1 Courts. Angelo Lamme, International segment
manager for wireless and security, 3Com, commented:

“We are seeing more and more wireless hotspots in public
areas being set up all over Europe. The benefits offered by
a wireless LAN of a flexible, reliable and secure Internet
connection have been known for some time, but now the
technology is certainly coming of age."

"We are delighted that four 3Com Access Point 8000s are
supporting the web kiosks at one of the greatest sporting
events of the year.”

The 3Com 11 Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point 8000
supports up to 256 users and offers enterprise network
security, complete centralised management and four
antenna options to allow users to expand wireless
coverage up to 305 metres. For more information, visit
