Several controls are essential for an Internet café operation. If users are connecting their own computers wirelessly, then it is important that peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing software is blocked to ensure that the Internet café business is not held responsible for copyright infringement. It is also necessary to regulate data speeds to share the resource between all users. Depending on the policies of use, content filtering may also be applied to Internet traffic.

Two options are available for charging customers: they can pay with credit cards, or purchase a ticket from the counter.

Use the gateway credit card billing feature to provide free regulated access and charge for the high-speed service using the PayPal® credit card processing service.

When customers wants to pay cash, the Internet café can give a receipt with an access code using GIS-TP1 ticket printer and tablet touch screen. The ticket printer generates the customers pass code and logs each transaction.

Why do I need a Hotspot gateway?

If you offer or are planning to offer Internet access to your visitors, you will need to ensure that your network is protected and everyone has access to the Internet without any visitors using the service unfairly.

A Hotspot gateway is a device that provides authentication, authorization and accounting for a wired or wireless network.

The Gateway has different types of access methods which are selected according to the business' requirements in order to control who has access to the network:
