Top Top Top Top How can the WLAN be implemented in the absence of an authentication database?
The authentication database is a key requirement in user authentication. Generally, most wireless gateways support external authentication databases, regardless of whether the gateway and the databases are installed in the same network environments. In the absence of an authentication database, the only option is to use the one that has been built into the wireless gateway such as SP913 which provides a local database functionality that addresses the issue of a lack of authentication data at the user’s end.

Top What is hot spot?
For users of portable computers equipped for wireless, a hot spot (or hotspot) is a company providing Internet connection and virtual private network (VPN) access from a given location. For example, a business traveller with a laptop equipped for Wi-Fi can look up a local hot spot (access point), contact it, and get connected through its network to reach the Internet and their own company remotely with a secure connection.
Top What is account roaming?
Generally in a public WLAN, there are many WISPs that provide wireless network services. Often, the scope of the services provided by these WISPs is restricted and may not meet the user’s needs. Therefore, most WISPs would collaborate with one another to enable their respective account holders to seamlessly access the Internet without having to get an account on another service network. This is called roaming. Collaboration between the service providers not only benefits the user but also provides opportunity for business growth. There are now many organizations that have been formed to provide this type of roaming service e.g. the internationally renowned GRIC, iPASS etc and the OMI@ , The Institute for Information Industry (III) in Taiwan.
