HSG1210 – Wireless Hotspot Gateway
The 4ipnet HSG1210 Wireless Hotspot Gateway in 19” rack-mountable chassis is designed to provide an easy-to-use, all-in-one solution for hotspot service providers.
A single HSG1210 enables a hotspot provider to service multiple hot-spot franchises in a mall area through the feature of Multiple-Service-Zone. Each service zone can have its own login skin and an independent SSID. HSG1210 is also ideal for hospitality application. For example, a hotel can use the service zone feature to separate the privileges of staff, guest, and VIP usage for accessing Internet.
The HSG1210’s built-in on-demand account generation capability is easy to use by cashiers or receptionists. Each guest account is associated to a price and a usage quota, either by time or volume. Moreover, HSG1210 works with the existing RADIUS server, if central billing had been implemented by the operator.
