A situar en hotspot.


Hotspots are locations where you can have access from mobile computers (such as a laptop or a PDA) without connection cables to networked services such as the internet. Hotspots are often found near restaurants, train stations, airports, cafes, libraries and other public places.

A wireless network uses radio frequencies for the communication between computer devices and access points which are basically two-way radio transceivers that typically work in the 2.4 GHz (802.11b, 802.11g) or 5 GHz (802.11a) bands.

Most Wi-Fi hotspot equipment is IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant and offers some level of security like WEP and/or WPA.

Many laptops come with IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g adapters built in. However, it is also possible to buy PCMCIA or USB based external adapters.

Hotspot Access Points are different from normal access points. They feature:

Hotspot manufacturers include Cisco Systems, Colubris, D-Link, Nomadix, SpotNet, Sputnik and Ambit.

T-Mobile Hotspot, Wayport, Patriot Broadband, Surf and Sip, SurfSpot (New Zealand) and Surf2Go are Public Wireless LAN providers. Also certain PodHotSpots.

ZoneCD is a GNU/Linux LiveCD to easily set up hotspots.

Today many universities and schools have wireless networks in their campus.
