A Manager’s Guide To Wireless Hotspots
How To Take
Advantage Of Them While Protecting The Security Of Your Corporate Network
By
Motorola
Published 2007, Posted December 2007
Abstract:
In urban environments, wireless Internet access is an easy find for anyone with a notebook or handheld computer that supports the wireless LAN protocol known as Wi-Fi. The term “hotspot” has become a part of the public lexicon, referring to a place where a user can connect to a public Wi-Fi network. There are more than 150,000 Wi-Fi hotspots worldwide today. Some of these, namely municipal hotspots, span entire cities.
In coffee shops, hotels, airport terminals and libraries, public Wi-Fi hotspots are increasingly becoming commonplace. Hotspots are convenient, but there are safety risks that come with using them. Some are safer than others, and they should be used cautiously.
