1. Introduction

The Wireless Hotspot Gateway is a compact intelligent gateway integrated with a four-port port-based
VLAN switch. It provides Plug’ Play Internet access, advanced security and network management.

The Wireless Hotspot Gateway is designed for service providers, system integrator or hotspot venue
operator without backend-RADIUS-Server to have integrated solution for rapid deployment, which can
start hotspot service quickly and easily and enhance service performance.

The Wireless Hotspot Gateway is an ideal solution for hotel lobbies, coffee bars, airport lounges,
conference facilities and other sites that commonly host business travelers, and offers instant
high-speed Internet connections. With its IP Plug and Play technology, it accepts any client
configuration login, when client open browser the Wireless Hotspot Gateway immediately recognizes
new end-user and redirects their browser to customized Web pages. There’s no need for end-user to
change any of their default network (Static IP), e-mail (SMTP Server behind firewall), or browser
settings (HTTP Proxy) or load any special software to access hotspot service. It’s completely Plug’ Play
with any browser.
