4ipnet Responds To Growing Demand For Secure Wi-Fi Wireless Internet Access
A powerful security gateway with multiple configurable billing plans designed for high-density Wi-Fi hotspot or hotzone deployments.
-/Wi-Fi Technology News/-As Internet usages become more mobile, users have growing demands for secure wireless Internet access in public locations. Many Wi-Fi hotspot owners have always been looking for a network management device that would be robust enough to maintain a larger wireless network, where they can provide their customers with Internet access, yet flexible enough to meet their current and future needs. The 4ipnet WHG301 Wireless Hotspot Gateway with built-in 500 local accounts and 2,000 on-demand accounts would be the ideal solution.
The WHG301 is designed for medium-scale Wi-Fi hotspot deployments, such as in hotels, hospitals, convention centers, libraries, airport terminals, and MDUs/ MTUs. It features the most in-demand "secure access control", "visitor account provisioning", "flexible accounting and billing", and "high-speed secure wireless connection"; furthermore, it comes in advanced functions to effectively manage user accounts and networking devices while providing secure, reliable Internet connection.
Site-to-Site VPN
WHG301 not only works as a standalone gateway for a single Wi-Fi hotspot venue, but supports cross-location roaming for larger hotspot deployments in chain stores with a backend RADIUS server. With WHG301 providing site-to-site VPN tunnels across different locations, hotspot venues can securely connect with one another to share the same account database. The site-to-site VPN ensures the highest security for data transmitted over Internet.
Centralized AP management
WHG301 can centrally manage up to 12 APs. This function enables administrators to remotely monitor and configure the managed APs from a single management interface.
Dual WAN Uplink with Fail-Over and Load Balance
Effective bandwidth utilization and reliable Internet connections bring profits to hotspot owners. The WHG301 further supports dual WAN uplinks with two Internet connections from two different ISPs. With WAN load balance, it helps split traffic load across two WAN lines to improve the efficiency of network transmission. When one of the connections is down, WAN fail-over will route all traffic to the other WAN line to keep Internet connection alive.
Service Zones
To further extend manageability and security required in a larger WLAN network, WHG301 introduces the concept of Service Zones - multiple virtual networks, each with its own definable access control profiles. This function partitions one physical network into several virtual networks, useful for hotspot owners to provide different customers with different levels of network services.
The 4ipnet WHG301 Wireless Hotspot Gateway provides an easy, turnkey solution to make medium-scale Wi-Fi hotspot networks secure and manageable. For more information about 4ipnet products, please contact sales@4ipnet.com or visit us at
