[dba-Tech] wi-fi plug-ins

Many cell phone companies now offer a "mobile hotspot". By using one of
these you don't have to figure out how to tether your cell phone, if you can
even do that with yours.

In as non-technical terms as I can put it - it is a device that translates
the cell tower's wireless radio signals to the signal that wireless
computers use. 

They are usually routers too - which means you can connect more than one
device to their wireless signal.

Sometimes they even have a port for a wired connection.

Subject: [dba-Tech] wi-fi plug-ins

I'm looking for a plug-in hot spot for my dell book. I'm working fulltime
for the next 8 months, but I can't use the wi-fi for my own stuff -- job is
nature-related and has nothing to do with software or IT.

I can bring my dell, I just can't use their wi-fi. It's a state agency and
it's just... totally lock downed to keep the natives from screaming that
we're abusing their tax dollars.

I did a bit of research last night but really didn't turn up anything that
looks promising. I'm going to check out the existing laptops to see what
else is showing up, but I don't expect to find any free connections in the
area.

Looking for recommendations.

Susan H.
