The invention relates to a method for providing mobile communication
terminal location data. In the method, radio signal is received from a
beacon in a wireless local area network. Next, beacon identification data
that identifies the beacon is derived, based on the received radio
signal. The identification data is transmitted to a server. Beacon
location data is then provided by and received from the server. Mobile
communication terminal location data, particularly presence data that
indicates that the mobile communication terminal is in the vicinity of
the beacon, is derived from the beacon location data. Upon such detected
presence, an additional application process is advantageously executed.
The method is executed by a processing device in a subscriber identity
module that is included in the mobile communication terminal, thus
achieving hidden operation and portability. The invention also relates to
a subscriber identity module and a system operating in accordance with
the method.
