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:
- • User agrees to the terms and conditions of use
- • Business provides a code (paid or free) to the user
- • User provides personal information (e.g. name, phone number, email address...) in order to connect to the Internet
