A hot spot is another name for a wireless access point or an area where there is an open wireless network. Typically, a hot spot has free wireless Internet access, but it also applies to areas with paid access, such as coffee shops or airports.
A clickable spot on a map or floor plan that links to a corresponding image.
The position in a mouse pointer that marks the exact screen location that will be affected by a mouse action such as a button press. Regardless of its shape, a mouse pointer’s hotspot is only a single pixel in size and represents only a small portion of the graphical mouse pointer shape – for example, the screen position at the tip of a pointer shaped like an arrow, the position at the tip of the pointing finger in a hand.

large areas of the earth that are heated much quicker by the sun than surrounding grasses and forests. As a result, air rises upward from the relatively hot surface of the pavement, reaches its condensation level, condenses, and forms a cloud above the hot spot.
Someplace where one can access Wi-Fi service, for free or for a fee. Common Hot Spot locations are coffee shops, hotels, and airport lounges. Back
In wireless networking, a hot spot is a specific part of an access point's range in which the general public can walk up and use the network. The service may be available only for a fee, and the hot spot's range is usually short to control the physical proximity of the user.
A wireless access point where users can access the Internet and back-office business applications (ERP, CRM, Order Entry, Supply and Logistics, etc.) on-demand.
A location that offers Wi-Fi access points, usually for a fee but sometimes at no cost to the user. Hot spots can be found at some airports, coffee shops, hotels, restaurants and various other locations.

A hotspot is a public location such as an airport, shopping mall or conference center that has readily accessible wireless networks, usually 802.11b or 802.11a.
The location under the mouse cursor to which the mouse is pointing at any moment.
A hotspot is a stationary, long-lived (tens of millions of years) source of basaltic magma coming up through the mantle to the Earth's surface.
Hot spots are locations where you can log onto the Internet via a public wireless access point. All you need is a Wi-Fi networking card, which is currently sold as an add-on option or intergrated on some laptops. Many airports, railway stations, hotels, even coffee bars are now equipped with Hot spots.
A very strong differentiation of centre to edge brightness of a projected image. Usually the centre is significantly brighter than the edges causing a "hot spot". This is generally caused by poorly formulated screen materials and can be demonstrated in the most extreme example by projecting onto commercial whiteboards. However, it should be stated that all projectors show some variation between the centre to edge brightness which is technically a hotspot, but usually it is of a degree which the human eye is unable to observe.
Any spot on a web page that reacts when you click on it. Usually the pointer will turn into a hand when you move over a hot spot.
A volcanic center, 60 to 120 miles (100 to 200 km) across and persistent for at least a few tens of million of years, that is thought to be the surface expression of a persistent rising plume of hot mantle material. Hot spots are not linked to arcs and may not be associated with ocean ridges.
A blurred effect, resembling a halo, usually occurring in highlight areas or screens. It occurs when a negative does not seat or contact properly in a vacuum frame.
(n.) In the X protocol, the point in a cursor that corresponds to the coordinates reported for the pointer.
An area of concentrated heat in the mantle that produces magma that rises to the Earth's surface to form volcanic islands. The volcanic activity of the Hawaiian Islands is one example. Hot spots generally persist for millions of years.
Localized source of radiation or radioactive material normally within facility piping or equipment. The radiation levels of hot spots exceed the general area radiation level by more than a factor of 5 and are greater than 100 mrem (1 mSv) per hour on contact.
Too much light in one spot.
An area of a graphics object, or a section of text, that activates a function when selected. Hot spots are particularly common in multimedia applications, where selecting a hot spot can make the application display a picture, run a video, or open a new window of information.
The area immediately under an HID lamp where the light intensity is strongest. Hot spots cause uneven growth, but can be remedied by using light movers.
localized melting region deep beneath the earth's surface, below the earth's crust, whose existence is inferred from the volcanic activity above it. Generally hot spots are a few hundred miles in diameter and persistent over tens of millions of years.

Hot spots provide a wireless access point for the user and limited coverage (approximately 100 feet), depending on the location. See Also: 802.11, Wi-Fi, WLAN
areas of volcanic activity found in the middle of lithospheric plates, caused from an upwelling of concentrated heat in the mantle. Hot spots remain stationary while the plates move over them, often leaving a chain of extinct volcanoes as the plate moves away from the hot spot; examples include the Hawaiian Islands and Yellowstone National Park.
A place, such as a hotel, restaurant or airport, that offers Wi-Fi access, either free or for a fee.
A volcanic center, 100 to 200 km across, continuing for at least a few tens of million of years. Thought to be the surface expression of a persistent rising plume of hot mantle material. The Hawaiian Islands have been built from a hot spot as the Pacific plate moves slowly to the northwest.
A TERM USED IN NUCLEAR MEDICINE TO INDICATE THE CONCENTRATION OF RADIOACTIVE UPTAKE ON AN IMAGE. A “HOT” SPOT IS AN AREA OF INCREASED UPTAKE WHEREAS A”COLD” SPOT INDICATES AN AREA OF DECREASED UPTAKE. BOTH MAY INDICATE ANABNORMALITY BUT THIS WILL VARY FOR EACH PROCEDURE. IN SOME CASES WE ONLY LOOK FOR “HOT” AREAS, IN OTHERS ONLY “COLD”.
Wireless access point usually associated with 802.11 or Wi-Fi networks. Hotspots can offer free internet access or charge for it.
A place where you can connect to a public wireless network.
A scattered location, such as a coffee shop, airport or bookstore, where a user can establish a WLAN or “Wi-Fi†connection with its service provider. Hot spots provide a wireless access point for the user and limited coverage of up to several hundred or thousand feet, depending on the location. See also 802.11, Wi-Fi and WLAN.
Center of persistent volcanism, thought to be the surface expression of a rising hot plume in Earth's mantle.
Commonly seen on high-gain screens and screens diesigned for slide or movie projection, a hot spot is a circular area where the image is brighter than the rest of the screen. The hot spot is always located along the line of sight, and "moves" with the line of sight.
For users of portable computers equipped with wireless connectivity, a hot spot (or hotspot) is a wireless LAN (local area network) location that provides Internet connection and virtual private network (VPN) access. For example, a business traveler with a laptop equipped for Wi-Fi can go to a local hot spot, get connected through its network to reach the Internet, surf the web, and check e-mail, all remotely with a secure connection. Some public places such as airports, hotels, and coffee shops are providing free wireless access for customers.
A weak sction in the Earth's crust where magma rises to the surface.
and of various regions of the earth where a plume of molten material in the earth's mantle is carried upwards, heating the crust above. [AHDOS
A location at the base of the lithosphere, at the top of a mantle plume, where temperatures can cause melting.
A fixed plume of hot magma which rises through the mantle and creates volcanoes on the earth's surface. The Hawaiian Island chain is an example of a hot spot. Because the plumes are fixed, the hot spots record past plate motions.
