HOTSPOTS

Hotspots in dating life might mean a new night club.  In wireless though, hotspots often refer to a business area or airport area or similar that offers wireless internet.  In such places, wireless internet customers can take their lap top computers with their 802.11b wireless receiver PCMCIA cards (plug in cards) and receive internet in these areas.  Of course this is often a sold service, as someone must maintain these wireless systems.

Hotspots are becoming more common in airports and hotels and other places.  Coffee shops such as Starbucks sometimes will have an internet hotspot for the convenience of their customers.  Hotspots are most commonly 802.11b wireless types or 802.11g - since those would be the most common form of internet wireless and therefore would attract the most customers.
