How It Works ? WiFi HotSpot Network Topologies

Our HotSpot solution works with any active and passive network hardware. You are not required to buy specific access point models and in many cases not even required to reconfigure your network. HotSpot is a captive portal software that acts as a gateway - it will accept traffic to one network card, analyze it, and if customer is allowed to browse, it will pass traffic to second network card connected to Internet using preferred line (ADSL, Cable, WiFi...).

HotSpot Billing Software will therefore run on Windows-based PC, equipped with two (2) network cards (most modern motherboards comes with two network adapters or you can use PCI or USB network cards). This computer will be your hotspot gateway that will control Internet traffic.

These are few examples of possible network topologies.

  Customer Comments:  

"We’ve been using your hotspot software for over 6mths now. We wanted a product that would allow us to grant guests wireless access to the internet without exposing our domain to risk. The solution was to have a separate internet connection with software that would allow us to manage guest usage. Your hotspot software has proven itself to be perfect for that job. It was an easy to install and configure. "
