wifi hotspots

Wireless internet locations

Wifi hotspots are locations where wireless internet access is available, typically in public places like cafes, airports, and libraries.

The term also refers to the device or feature that creates such a connection—a smartphone can serve as a mobile hotspot, sharing its cellular data with nearby devices: I turned my phone into a hotspot so my laptop could connect.
