Simple Network Design and Deployment

The single Gateway Access Point “Hotspot in a Box” is deployed in many environments. These deployments include coffee shops, restaurants, gas stations, truck stops, railway stations, small bed and breakfast inns, marinas, and kiosks. Our solution provides a low-cost radius billing and authentication service for people wishing to set up WiFi Internet hotspots. It is a simple self-install package and includes all the network equipment needed to install a wireless hotspot as well as end-user billing capabilities. All that is needed is a high speed Internet connection which we can provide if requested. This solution is designed to be a turnkey product that allows our smaller business customers to become instant wireless Internet service providers.
