Asterisk WiFi Hotspot Finder Plugin
Find a Hotspot Anywhere in the USA
Justin Beka of Ars Technica, highlighted a plug-in that I have known about for some time, the WiFi Hotspot finder for Asterisk. The Asterisk WiFi HotSpot Finder is designed to retrieve name and address information for commercial, free, or all Wi-Fi Hot Spots for any zip code in the United States. Simply call the phone number to your Asterisk system (with the WiFi Hotspot plugin enabled), dial 9434 (W-I-F-I) and key in a zip code using any touchtone phone connected to your Asterisk PBX, and the data will be retrieved from 4INFO.net’s WAP service and played back over your phone using the Flite text-to-speech engine.
The plugin was created by Ward Mundy of NerdVittles, who has some of the best tips, tricks, hacks, and plugins for Asterisk based phone systems. Check them all out here.
