The server pairs its Bluetooth device with the client’s mobile
using Bluetooth. After pairing the Bluetooth is used for
sharing the data between client device and server device.
B. Client Mobile:
The client mobile is the mobile which uses the service of WiFi hotspot for accessing the internet. This service is provided
by the server mobile.

The client after pairing his device with server’smobile, uses
the internet browser to access the internet.

VIII. CONCLUSION
The continuing rollout of hotspot deployment is being fueled
by the growing requirement for high-speed connectivity in
public areas such as airports, shopping malls, conference
venues, hotels, and so on. However, a successful and viable
hotspot business model will depend on the extent that it can
provide value for all its stakeholders – the end user, the
network service provider, and the building and premise
owners. In this paper, we have highlighted several technical
and deployment-related challenges that need to be addressed
before such connectivity can be provided ubiquitously through
