The high-performance 4ipnet HSG3200 Giga Hotspot Gateway comes in 19” full rack-mount chassis with 4 gigabit interfaces, is designed for large wireless and wired internet access deployment. A single HSG3200 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. HSG3200 is also ideal for hospitality application. For example, a hotel can use the service zone feature to separate the privileges of staff, guest, VIP, and convention usage for accessing Internet.
The HSG3200’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, HSG3200 works with the existing RADIUS server, if central billing had been implemented by the operator.
