| Hotel/Hotspot/MTU Wireless |
| When a hotel guest has a problem connecting
to the Internet the last person who wants to hear about it
is the front desk clerk. Few smaller and mid size hotels
have readily available IT staff and even if they trained
their customer service staff none would have the time to
deal with it during peak check-in and check-out times. They
simply need the Internet access solution to work. The same
can be said about any public access network or hotspot.
Guest features need the intelligence to manage any situation
automatically, so the venue operator or business owner can
focus on their service. Whether wired or wireless, or both,
the hotspot that is based on a dedicated hotspot solution is
the only way to achieve the desired outcome of a satisfied
guest experience. |

Cafes, hotels, restaurants, conference centers, urban
plazas, libraries and multi-dwelling Condos are some of
the many applications where implementing public hotspot
access to the Internet not only provides an attractive
convenience for patrons but can also be an added source
of revenue. SOHOware’s AeroGate™ solutions let you
manage a public access application in the manner that
meets the needs of the business. AeroGate™ solutions
are specifically intended for high turn over guest
access applications, offering these critical features: |

Effortless Guest Connectivity
IP Plug-n-Play (iPnP): a common source of connection errors
comes from pre-configured client settings on a guest’s PC. If
their PC is looking for another subnet, then there’s no joy.
AeroGate™ solutions accommodate this situation
automatically by intelligently redirecting a client’s address
request, regardless of pre-configured IP, DNS or proxy
settings.
Guest and Venue Security
Layer 2 Privacy: Once connected to a network, a PC becomes
visible to the browsing attempts of other PCs. AeroHotSpot™
prevents client-to-client discovery and browsing by blocking
IP traffic entirely. Every guest who accesses the network is
assured of a secure experience. Options allow for certain IP
addresses to be viewable by clients as, for example, to share
network the resources of a business center.
Flexible Billing Options
A business offering hotspot access may wish to charge a fee or
may not, and if yes, may wish to support credit cards or may
prefer Point of Sale transactions. AeroGate™ offers the
flexibility of supporting virtually every method of handling
the AAA requirements of a public access network. An optional
POS station is available to take the complexity out of the
cashier’s job of issuing access passwords.

Top Five Tips for Hotel/MTU WiFi Internet
System Deployment--
- An Integrated Hotel WiFi Internet
System consists of three key elements: WiFi Access Point,
WiFi Subscriber Gateway and WAN Load Balancer.
- Ensure that the WiFi Access Point
is of Industrial Grade IP-50 Rating dust-proof metal housing
and has built-in PoE socket for easy power sourcing.
- Guest Data Isolation and
transparent Client VPN Pass-thru support are critical for
guests' privacy and security concerns
- Design in WAN Load Balancer
requirement upfront as multiple WAN links (DSL/Cable/T1) are
required to support hundreds of concurrent hotel guests
accessing the internet.
- User-friendly GUI is a MUST as
most hotel personnel are not IT-savvy.
