What is Wi-Fi?
It makes sense to connect computers together where you have more than one in the same building because things like a printer or an internet connection can be shared, rather than having to get one for each computer.
wi-fi is ... actually a trademark, belonging to the Wi-Fi Alliance » for the set of technology standards that allow computers to connect wirelessly.
For years this has been done using cables, but lately the wi-fi standard for short range wireless connection has emerged and rapidly become popular.
It's opening up a world of new possibilities. We can choose to share resources with anyone who wanders into wireless range. New portable computers like laptops and handhelds are coming with wireless capability as standard - like Intel Centrino ». Wherever there's a shared internet connection, internet users like office workers and students can get online.
a hotspot is ...
somewhere that is in wireless range of a shared internet connection. To host a hotspot is to set up an internet connection and share it with users of portable computers.
Wi-fi is bringing real benefits to everyone that's involved. Offices are finding that the work anywhere culture brings productivity gains while their staff are free to choose their working environment. Large restaurant and hotel chains have created a new revenue stream by selling wireless internet access as an added value service to their existing customer base. Smaller restaurants and publicans are capturing lunchtime and afternoon trade by offering free hotspots.
