The term HotSpot was promoted by Nokia Mobile Phones, after five years Brett Stewart first proposed the concept at NetWorld+Interop conference in 1993.
HotSpot Network provides a reliable wireless Internet connection with broadband speed, so it's great for everything from checking your email to instant messaging to watching videos or listening to music.
HotSpot Network gives you online communication access that lets you choose how you want to stay close. Whether you are using Wi-Fi on your phone or laptop it keeps you connected.
With the broadband speeds of the HotSpot Network, you spend your time communicating, not waiting. It makes connecting simple and consistent, no matter which location you're using.
Hotspots are often found at restaurants, train stations, airport, libraries, hotel, hospital, coffee shop and bookstores. Many public places also utilize Hotspots.
There are hotspots which operate in two way;
- Public Network with a Wi-Fi router is easy to create a free HotSpot. Private users of wireless routers can turn off their authentication requirement. The disadvantage is that access to the router cannot be controlled. Some of the authenticated user does not secure the data transmission or prevent packet sniffe from allowing people to see traffic on the network. Some vendors offer virtual private network (VPN) as a secure option. This solution is expensive. Also it may be not be secure as only the connection between the networks is shielded and the network itself is not always the case.
- This Closed public networks use a HotSpot Management System to control the HotSpot. The software runs on the router itself or an external computer. With this type of software, operators can authorize only specific users to access the Internet and they often associate the free access to a menu or a purchase limit. This is often done by a Service Level Agreement.
