The introduction of the ZyXEL N4100 Wireless Hotspot Gateway enables hospitality
businesses the opportunity to deploy the full range of internet services needed to create new
revenue streams and retain and attract customers. As an addition to the ZyXEL range of
Hotspot/Service Gateways, the ZyXEL N4100 Wireless Hotspot Gateway provides a fully
flexible solution supporting the IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless standards.
Installing the latest 11n technology truly offers enhanced connectivity required within the
business, which in turn enables users a connection to the internet for all of the latest wireless
devices including laptops, notebooks, PDA’s, gaming devices and wifi mobile handsets. The
ZyXEL N4100 not only offers this flexible connectivity but also offers increased performance
and featuring 3 Transmitter x 3 Radio MIMO technology.
The ZyXEL N4100 is the latest WLAN Hotspot Gateway from an established world leader in
Internet hotspot solutions. The 11n-capable N4100 gateway is designed to work as an access
controller for service providers and hospitality businesses to deliver internet services with its
own unique built in billing system. It is an ideal solution for hotels, coffee shops, airports and
conference facilities to offer instant high-speed Internet connections.
In addition to the newly launched N4100, the ZyXEL Hotspot/Service Gateway Series is
complete with two other products, the WLAN Hotspot Gateway and Vantage Service
Gateway, to meet various needs.
Benefits
Standards Based High Performance Wireless Connectivity
In the high pressure always internet connected environment of today, people travel more and more
and need to stay connected to family, friends and their offices with a multitude of different wireless
mobile devices such as laptops, netbooks, smart phones and game consoles. This change in attitude
has driven the need for more bandwidth and higher density in internet wireless solutions offered
by hospitality businesses and WiFi service providers for public use. The ZyXEL N4100 Wireless LAN
Hotspot Gateway has been optimised to deliver flexible connectivity for WiFi devices through
standards based 11n RF wireless technology.
The new 11n WiFi standard offers a peak rate data throughput of up to 300 Mbps, providing
approximately five times the bandwidth compared to standard 11b/g WiFi devices. The N4100 also
offers 3 Transmit 3 Receive MIMO antenna technology and further 11n features to provide more
flexible and better coverage within the business location. With these advantages, the ZyXEL N4100
Hotspot Gateway offers many benefits to users wishing to deploy and use Internet services.

Hotspot/Service Gateway Series
Simple Operation for Delivering Internet Access
To enable easy configuration and usage the ZyXEL Hotspot/Service Gateway Series can be used with the optional SP300E ticket printer. With this
combination, business owners can easily enable their staff to operate the gateway solution to give end users the information they need to access the
Internet. This is achieved simply by pushing a button on the SP300E which then automatically prints the Internet access information. This removes the
need in smaller deployments for a dedicated PC to manage the authentication and billing within the business. In larger business environments the ZyXEL
Hotspot/Service Gateway Series can support up to ten SP300 printers installed in different locations around the premises. This provides an ideal solution
which can scale as the business expands and where greater Internet coverage is required.
Plug-and-play Connectivity
Users who want to access a business hotspot are usually faced with various technical issues to establish connectivity and need information such as IP
configurations, static IP, DHCP clients, etc. The ZyXEL Hotspot/Service Gateway Series is equipped with IP Plug and Play technology so that users do not
need to change their existing IP and other network configurations to connect to the Internet. The access is fast, easy and trouble free thus increasing
usage and encouraging more users to use the service. This offers the hospitality business more opportunity to attract and retain customers while
delivering new revenue opportunity. In addition, the ZyXEL Hotspot/Service Gateway Series can be configured to interact within an existing network and
can be installed in different modes such as a gateway, DNS, proxy as well as dynamic and static IP address assignments. This eliminates the need and
associated costs of hiring dedicated IT staff.
Strict Security and Regulatory Compliance
The “EU Data Retention Directive”, which is Directive 2006/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006, stipulates the retention
of data generated or processed in connection with the provision of publicly available electronic communications services or of public communications
networks and amends Directive 2002/58/EC. It requires business owners of places where Internet services are provided to keep several elements of the
user data for a certain period of time. ZyXEL is aware of the difficulties of business owners to deploy a service and meet the requirements. The ZyXEL
Hotspot/Service Gateway Series is a core part of the solution when installed along with the NSA-220 Plus and ZyWALL USG to enable businesses to meet
the expectations of the directive. This is achieved by ensuring that session traces are logged and user activities are kept for government audit if required.
The Hotspot/Service Gateway Series is the best choice for business owners who intend to provide public Internet access.
Secure Internet Gateway with Scalable Simultaneous Wireless Connections
The ZyXEL Hotspot/Service Gateway range can be installed either as a standalone device connected directly to a broadband router as an all in one
Internet wireless Internet hotspot solution or as part of a larger network. This flexibility provides the business with a fully authenticating, authorizing and
administration device to allow the control of Internet Wireless users. This functionality enables the business to define the policy as to how users can be
offered either secure free Internet access or can deploy a simple charging methodology. The range starts with the G-4100 v2 offering B/G wireless and up
to 100 simultaneous connections. The introduction of the N4100 extends the wireless technology to B/G/N for better coverage capability, while
supporting 100 simultaneous users as standard and 200 users by using the optional license. The final product in the ZyXEL Hotspot/Service Gateway
range is the VSG-1200 v2. The VSG-1200 v2 is a rack mountable service gateway which is deployed within larger networks and can support up to 250
simultaneous users.
