Fixed Wireless Access

(FWA)

Creating Wi-Fi Hotspot
• Any modern smartphone (iPhone or
Android) can be turned into a WiFi
hotspot.
• A.k.a. Wi-Fi tethering
• Smartphones are generally suitable
for such activity for limited duration
due to:
• Plans not suitable for tethering
• Device not available for calls, etc.
• Battery life is limited
• Hotspot coverage area is limited

Creating Wi-Fi Hotspot with MiFi
• MiFi is brand name for Mobile
Wireless Router
• Same as smartphone but only has
one purpose, to create a Wi-Fi
hotspot
• Available from many different
device vendors

Creating Wi-Fi Hotspot Indoors
• You can create a Wi-Fi hotspot
indoors with smartphone or MiFi
devices.
• Its not the best approach because:
• Mobile signal attenuates when
going through walls
• Smartphones / MiFi devices are
only good for small coverage
areas
• For large coverage areas, proper
Wi-Fi routers are required
