The Tampere Exhibition and Sports Centre offers access to two wireless networks: the public “Messu” network and the City of Tampere’s “Seutu Wireless” network.

These are open networks available to all visitors, and their speed and reliability may vary significantly.
If your stand’s operations rely heavily on a stable internet connection, we recommend ordering a stand-specific internet connection. This dedicated connection is reserved exclusively for your stand, making it more reliable than the open public networks.

Order stand-specific internet connection from eShop.
