Hotspots or places that provide Internet access services using wireless. If you want to open a Cafe business, or restaurant, for those interested and come to your home, you can make free Internet service for those who visit. This is because a number of devices that have been equipped with wireless technology, so the trend is the use of a higher.
Unfortunately, not everyone understands how to build Wi-Fi infrastructure. Lack of information and perhaps a somewhat expensive price makes many business owners are reluctant to build a hotspot. In fact, there is great potential to add hotspots interest and also to increase revenues from the place itself.
This article will discuss important things you need to know to provide the hotspot service. This is discussed is relatively simple that can be followed by beginners though (as long as it already has the basics of network). At the end of the article, we discuss a tool that is practical enough to be used to create a hotspot.
Equipment Needed to Make a Hotspot:
1. Access Point.
Function Access Point as a hub / switch on the local network, which acts to connect the local network with a wireless network / wireless the client / your neighbors, this is an access point internet connection from where you are emitted or transmitted via radio waves, the size also affects the signal strength coverage area will be achieved, the higher the signal strength (size in units of dBm or mW) to expand its reach.
2. Omni Antenna
To expand the coverage area until a few Kilometers, you need an external omni antenna, even when you buy an access point equipped with omni antenna, but not enough because only a magnitude of about 3-5dB, to expand the coverage area, you'll need an external omni antenna, flat - average 15db power. Omni antenna has a radiation beam or 360 degrees, so the match can reach the client from any direction.
3. Box Access Point
To protect your access point, need a box-shaped protective device, can be made of plastic or metal plate, the average box is equipped with a safety lock, and this box should be placed immediately below the antenna.
4. Pigtail
Jumperl Pigtail wires or cables needed to connect between the omni antenna to the access point, the maximum length of notice required only 1 meter, if an extension you will experience signal degradation (dB loss) at both ends of the cables have connectors that plug type connector according to the inherent your access point.
5. POE (Power Over Ethernet)
That the power cable has not been raised to "turn on" access point then you need a tool "POE" This tool serves to mengalirankan electricity via an ethernet cable or UTP / STP, with this tool you will not need to bother buying another power cord to the top of the tower , more practical and economical.
6. Cable UTP / STP
Cables UTP / STP is needed to connect an access point with a network cable at your local LAN, so the computer can be connected to the Gateway / Router or Hub / Switch, select cable UTP / STP good quality to improve the quality of electricity through the POE. stpot
7. Anti-lightning (Lightning Arrester)
As a safety from lightning then you need a tool that serves to channel the electrical overload when lightning struck the cable earthing (grounding), this component is installed on jumper cables between devices and access points with external antennas. Grounding for lightning rods are generally planted with copper to a depth of several meters to reach the water.
8. Tower
To get the maximum coverage area of coverage, you need to raise external omni antenna to a high place for the WLAN client you can catch your radio signals properly.
Good luck ... :)
