According to the invention, a field mobile terminal, such as a PDA, is
adapted to a use. The mobile terminal is provided with data, which is
divided into several parts. Each part concerns data connected to a
certain area, and the data of each part has been encrypted by using a
specific encryption key or keys. The provision of data is a preliminary
step for adapting the mobile terminal and it may be done in an office of
a public utility or a corresponding organization. A decryption key (or
keys) is location specific. The decryption keys are in a special server.
When a decryption of a part (or parts) is needed, the server finds out
the location of the mobile terminal. This is done by asking for the
location information from a special location information application in a
communication network. The application utilizes the location information
of the mobile network, which is updated in the wireless network system,
such as in a GSM network. Alternatively, the location information of the
mobile terminal may be delivered to the server automatically. A method
according to the invention provides that the location service utilizes
the location information on the mobile terminal, which location
information is within the knowledge of the network.
