INTERNET ACCESS BY THE MEANS OF WI-FI TECHNOLOGY

 

Passengers of the main Tunisian airports (Tunis Carthage, Manastir Habib Bourguiba and Djerba Zarzis) will have the opportunity from now on to profit from the time of their presence at these places to surf the Internet, to receive and send E-mails, or to use all other Internet service.

The technology which is used to be connected is a technology of wireless radio. Each airport of the three is endowed with a Wi-Fi local network which covers the zones of passengers’ presence, connected to Internet through the medium of a specialised line. From the side of passengers, it is enough to have a PC supplied with a radio Wi-Fi interface.

Here is a small detailed description of how works Wi-Fi network in the airport:

1. What would I need to achieve this service?

You need three things to achieve Planet HotSpot. Firstly, you need a laptop computer equipped with a Wi-Fi 802.11b /g network card.  When your equipment Wi-Fi is activated, choose SSID (identifying network) ' Planet '. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network card for more specific instructions concerning this point. Secondly, you need an Internet navigator on any operating system. No other software is requested. Finally, you need a prepaid Planet HotSpot count. In fact, Planet HotSpot sells prepaid counts of 120 minutes on its electronic trade website: http: // epay. Planet.tn / produits_wifi.asp. Once activated, the count is valid during 2 days.

2. Would I need to download or to install a software to link me to Planet HotSpot service?

The only software you will need are the driver of your Wi-Fi 802.11b / g card and an Internet navigator. Planet HotSpot service requests no other additional software.  

3. What is the throughput of Planet HotSpot service?

Each Planet HotSpot zone has its own high throughput connection to Internet. The Wi-Fi 802.11b /g technology allows to attain a speed in the order of 54Mbps. However, the real throughput depends on the speed of the equipment with which you were connected.  

4. How does this service work?

Planet, the provider of Internet service, set up in every zone HotSpots. They are points of access that issue a radio signal to the users of wireless network cards Wi-Fi 802.11b / g.

When you launch your navigator in a zone covered by Planet HotSpot, you receive the page of authentication on your screen to put in your login and your password. Once these information are validated, you can be connected to Internet means and to your company network if it is online.
