4ipnet HSG260-WTG2 Wi-Fi Hostpot Kit 2 wins “PC Pro Recommended” Award

SF WiFi is a 4ipnet reseller and can assist in product solutions and equipment purchases.

4ipnet’s HSG260-WTG2 Wi-Fi Hostpot Kit 2 won “PC Pro Recommended” Award! The detailed reviewed article can be seen at PC Pro Magazine Feb 2013 Edition Page 130, now available for purchase.

“A wireless hotspot kit with strong security, plenty of billing plans and a wide variety of logon options.”
“This wireless hotspot kit is an innovative bit of kit. Not only does it provide all the bits and bobs you need to set up a commercial hotspot- a gateway for providing access to the internet, a thermal printer for printing out guests access tickets, and a keypad to control it all- but you can also add QR codes to tickets, making logging on a breeze for users.”- PC Pro Feb 2013

Though the reviewer states that our gateway does not include any URL filtering features, it is important to point out that it can be found under “Firewall Configuration” settings.

SF WiFi

4ipnet, Inc., a leading wireless networking device provider for manageable, reliable, and secure wireless access, released a new feature “QR Code Auto-Login”, for fast and immediate On-demand Account Login on 4ipnet’s HSG260-WTG2: Wi-Fi Hotspot Kit 2.
The state of the Wireless LAN industry focuses on the meeting the demands of “BYOD(Bringing Your Own Device)”. 4ipnet’s QR Code Login feature allows the gateway to recognize any portable device logging into its network system through scanning a QR Code displayed on the device’s screen. Once a billing plan is selected from the SDS200W Wireless Smart Device Server, a ticket will be generated with a printed QR Code, allowing your device to gain internet access.

Pick any smart phone or smart tablet, preferably one with Apple or Android based. Download an App which contains a QR Code scanning option. Once the App is downloaded, aim the QR code scanner to the QR Code printed on the ticket. The QR Code should automatically be detected by the App. After all the above steps have been completed, a logged-in screen should automatically appear on the web browser.

The “QR Code Auto-Login” gives guests and visitors an option to save time and energy instead of writing down and memorizing username and passwords on-the-go at a public venue. With a growing percentage of the world’s population using mobile, smart devices, 4ipnet’s “QR Code Auto-Login” technology gives Hotspot Venue Owners a more flexible, creative option to save time and minimize personnel while offering high, state-of-the-art technology.
