| contents | Two Ways to Set Up Wireless Hotspot: Comparing Apples and Oranges Mutch, Andrew Ventura, Karen Telecommunications Computer Networks Internet Public Libraries Computer Software Comparative Analysis Library Services Computer Security Every place has it--coffee shops, bookstores, universities ... and now libraries are offering wireless Internet access too. At the Waterford Township Public Library (Waterford, Michigan), Andrew Mutch created a wide-open wireless network using Public IP open source software. About 20 miles away, at the Novi Public Library (Novi, Michigan), Karen Ventura created an authentication-required wireless network using the Smart Access Manager Wireless Manager. Both networks allow library users to get online using their own laptops or other portable devices. These networks were created using two different technologies to meet the needs of two different libraries in two different communities. This article compares notes on how each wireless network was established in its respective library, and describes the obvious differences in the two different approaches. |
