WiFi, is a technology that lets users reliably and securely send and
receive wireless data with nothing more than a WiFi enabled laptop or
PDA and a "hotspot" or network access point through which to connect. It
is often referred to as 802.11b or 802.11g, but it's all WiFi.
Connection to the Internet is not a cable, but a radio signal. Most
laptop computers can communicate only up to about 300 feet from network
access point due to the low power of their built in transmitters, which
are much weaker than cellular telephones. The low power is sufficient
for indoor networks in homes, offices, and coffee shops; but optimal
communication at high speed outdoors usually requires that the user use an
external high-power wireless device.
Typically, the user purchases time on a given WiFi network with their
credit card and uses the network simply by visiting a host location and
logging in. Many networks are interconnected via 'roaming' arrangements
that allow users to use their WiFi connection at many places.
Maritime Communications has extensive experience in designing,
installing and operating both indoor and outdoor networks in marinas and
harbors, hotels, public areas, and RV Parks.
