Hotspot Controllers – High Speed Wireless Broadband Internet Service Network

A Hotspot Controller is a device which creates wireless internet solutions for public access. It is infrastructure which when setup creates access for High Speed Broadband access in the form of Wireless Internet or WiFi in Airports, Convention Centers, Coffee Shops, Convenience Stores, Gas Stations, Hotels, Public Markets, Restaurants, Shopping Malls, Spas and Gyms, Theaters and Train Stations

If you looking to buy or rent Hotspot Controller equipment you want to find a solution which is complete. One that provides you with a setup and management solution. Besides the provision of network infrastructure you want a solution that includes accounting and back-office functionality such as bandwidth usage, bill, connection details and printing charges. Once setup you become your own Hotspot Controller you become a Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP).

By creating Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) using a Hotspot Controller you are creating public access to High Speed Wireless Broadband Internet. You are responsible for setup, provisioning, and security. The benefit to you is that you create alternate income for your property without much in ongoing labor costs.

For someone to use your High Speed Wireless Broadband Internet all they need is a device capable of working with the 802.11b standard. If they are using a laptop they can purchase an inexpensive PCMIA card. However, more and more devices are built with these connectivity options already inside.

Plan the installation of your Hotspot Controller carefully. If you need a range greater then 300 feet you will need to install an Wireless Internet external antenna. This will require you to probably obtain planning permission. You will probably need to investigate additional cabling and lightening arrester technology to protect your investment. When selecting your Hotspot Controller make sure it allows for firmware upgrades and supports 802.11b, 802.11a and Bluetooth standards and open-systems based security.
