Securely Connect to a Wireless hotspot
Wireless hotspots are changing the way people work. These wireless local area networks (LANs) provide high speed Internet connection in public locations—as well as at home—and need nothing more than a mobile PC such as a laptop or notebook computer equipped with a wireless card. Hotspot is the cool term for public spaces equipped with wireless Internet access; in other words, a place where you can connect to the Internet with your own Wi-Fi, or wireless-equipped device, such as a notebook computer, without cables. Current locations worldwide include hotels, convention centers, airport departure lounges, golf clubs, libraries, coffee shops, restaurants and even trains.
