Hotspot locator around the world
I found out this useful website which contain quite a number of locations which have Hotspot or Wifi access. It maybe a useful tool for those on mobile in needs of broadband access around the world. It’s a simple Hostpot locator for mobile users.
- The first hotspot-locator website is from Denmark as shown below.
- Choose the country
- Choose the area
- Walla, the listing of hotspot. It’s easy and simple
- The Second website is from Wifi-hotspotlist.com
It is a simple website where you can even download all the location you have found into a PDF file. The problem is that I do not know that if this website is well updated and the list is bearing those of Free Wifi hotspot. However, this website as a hotpot-locator is still useful for some people going to a foreign country. Have a try~!
How to use it?
Click here to proceed to the website.
As for the second website, i managed to find only 100 hotspots for Malaysia region. However, these wireless networks are mostly provided by Maxis. Click here for details.
You can search by specified location and by region. Happy trying, i still prefer the first website though.
P1 Wimax-Ignited the age of Wimax in Malaysia
Wimax which stands for Wireless Interoperability for Microwave Access. The first to launch in Malaysia by Packet One offers 4 different plans and packages with speeds starting from 400kbps to 2.4Mbps.
Many maybe confuse with WIFI and WIMAX. Both are different technologies and have a different platform. Wifi networks can be seen in most Starbucks and cafes that provides hotspot to customers. As a home user, a wifi network can be also used to provide wireless local area connection to the house. Wifi networks may or maybe not be connected to the internet but mostly nowadays it would be. Wifi provides mostly point-to-point links. It serves mobile laptops users and also wireless enabled phone or PDA users. The range of these hotspots are limited to few metres from the “Access Point” or in layman term the wireless equipment that the owner installed it. Mobility connection for the wifi connection maybe difficult as the users have to reconnect to a different hotspot each time they cross or goes to another boundary area. WIFI which is not meant for mobile use as it is for point to point usage(surfing on one spot).
Wimax is an alternative to broadband connection. It can serves point-to-point users and also cellular type users. The range of coverage for WIMAX is much more bigger as compared to wifi and the throughput speed is much better. Wimax transmitters will be like those cellular towers or at the roof of the buildings. The recievers maybe ur laptop with an added PCMCIA wimax card or external device. In the near future, laptops may come with the build in Wimax function.
