In Warsaw Community Public Library’s ongoing commitment to help the community, we now have mobile Wi-Fi hotspots for loan.
What is a hotspot? Many people regard a hotspot as an access location for Wi-Fi. Many libraries, cafes, restaurants, public buildings, etc. are destinations to which people travel daily. Normally these places offer their patrons/customers Wi-Fi access, which is a hardwire connection to allow you and your device access to the internet.
Some places, however, do not offer a Wi-Fi hardwire connection and it is nearly impossible to access the internet. Wouldn’t it be nice during those times when Wi-Fi isn’t available to have a wireless connection to use, especially if you are on vacation or a business trip?
This is when having a mobile hotspot device comes in handy.
Unlike a hotspot that accesses Wi-Fi through a hardwire connection, a mobile hotspot is a device that can be carried with you and can access via cellular tower a Wi-Fi connection. Most smartphones have their own hotspots built in; however, the downside to this is that some smartphones do not.
