Beyond deployments and testbeds: Experiences with public usage on vehicular WiFi hotspots.
- In MobiSys’12,
, 2012
"... ABSTRACT We describe our experiences with deploying a vehicular Internet access service on public transit buses. Our system, called WiRover, has been running on these buses since April 2010 for about 18 months till date providing a WiFi hotspot to which bus passengers can connect. As of Dec. 1, 201 ..."

1 Approaches for Simplified Hotspot Logins with Wi-Fi Devices
"... This thesis presents an overview of the different approaches for Wi-Fi login, with particular focus on public hotspots. This mainly involves solving the authentication problem. Common, as well as alternative solutions are presented and critically discussed with respect to the user’s security and the ..."

Creation of Virtual Wi-Fi Access Point and Secured Wi-Fi Pairing, through NFC
"... The growing ubiquity of Wi-Fi networks combined with the integration of low-cost Wi-Fi chipsets in all devices makes Wi-Fi as the wireless technology the most used for accessing to internet [1]. This means that the development of a Wi-Fi strategy has become an imperative for almost all operators wor ..."

What where wi: An analysis of millions of wi-fi access points
, 2007
"... Abstract — With the growing demand for wireless Internet access and increasing maturity of IEEE 802.11 technologies, wireless networks have sprung up by the millions throughout the world as a popular means for Internet access at homes, in offices and in public areas, such as airports, cafés and coff ..."

that the AP data, coupled with location information, can provide a fertile ground for understanding the “What, Where and Why” of Wi-Fi access points. More importantly, the analysis and mining of this vast and growing collection of AP data can yield important technological, social and economical results.
Characterizing Privacy Leakage of Public WiFi Networks for Users on Travel
"... Abstract—Deployment of public wireless access points (also known as public hotspots) and the prevalence of portable computing devices has made it more convenient for people on travel to access the Internet. On the other hand, it also generates large privacy concerns due to the open environment. Howe ..."

leakage can be up to 68%, which means two thirds of users on travel leak their private information while accessing the Internet at airports. Our results indicate that users are not fully aware of the privacy leakage they can encounter in the wireless environment, especially in public WiFi networks
Financial Assessment of Citywide Wi-Fi / WiMAX Deployment
"... Abstract: There are several ways by which a Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) can deliver city wide wireless broadband services. However, it is necessary to determine a profitable business case and at the same time a cost-effective service model, which is affordable to all types of users and ..."

Subscriber Line (DSL), but also make ubiquitous broadband a reality. If engineering and economics are correctly applied, a Wi-Fi network can be built around an entire city with a WiMAX backhaul, instead of providing limited coverage for hotspots. On the other hand, internet telephony over a Wi-Fi network
Emergency Service in Wi-Fi Networks without Access Point Association
"... Emergency “911 ” service is a critical function provided in the PSTN, cellular and VOIP networks. Wi-Fi, despite its growing importance, has no such service. In this paper, we develop a 911-like service for Wi-Fi capable devices, en-abling them to send emergency messages through any avail-able hotsp ..."
