Wireless Hotspot Gateways



SOHOware introduces a specialized gateway series specifically designed for small commercial businesses who wish to create or add public hotspot access to high speed Internet services.The gateways are a complete turn-key solution, requiring no additional hardware or software.

There are two models, each providing a different guest authentication method that allows business managers to select the most appropriate solution for their market.  The gateways include an integrated Wi-Fi compliant Access Point and Ethernet switch, providing both wired and wireless connectivity for mobile devices including laptops, PDA’s and Wi-Fi phones.

Ideal for cafes and coffee shops, restaurants and other food service venues, as well as institutions such as libraries, academic student unions, museums and other cultural facilities.  Quick to install and configure - an all-in-one solution.
