4ipnet NetTicketGen Network Ticket Generator Set

As Internet usage continues to become more mobile, customers have an increasing expectation for wireless Internet access at public locations, such as in coffee shops, restaurants, hotel lobbies, convention centers or airport terminals. Whether you are thinking of running a hotspot for free or for a fee, you will need a hotspot management system to maintain quality of service for your customers, eliminate free-riders, and keep your network secure.

4ipnet NetTicketGen Network Ticket Generator Set, SDS100 Smart Device Server and PRT100 POS Printer, is able to provide the easy hotspot solution that turns your venue instantly into a managed, branded and moneymaking hotspot.

SDS100 Device Server and PRT100 POS Printer lead a simpler way to serve the hotspot area. Designed to support account generation, SDS100 Device Server triggers the built-in On-Demand billing plan(s) inside 4ipnet WHG Controllers or HSG Gateways and then prints account tickets with the PRT100 POS Printer. Each WHG Controller or HSG Gateway can simultaneously support multiple NetTicketGen Network Ticket Generator Sets via the network. The on-demand accounts can be generated at the counter by the hotspot owner by pressing a few buttons on the SDS100 Device Server to print account tickets. All PRT100 POS Printers connect directly to SDS100 Device Server with serial port (in RS-232) and SDS100 has a standard TCP/IP (in RJ-45) interface, so it is easy for NetTicketGen Network Ticket Generator Set to join your network!

Capacity and Growth

Went to a party on Saturday night. The conversations ranged from the World Cup, LeBron James, and when’s dinner. As dinner became delayed the Apple devices came out. iPhones 3G, 4G, and iTouch. (I left my iPad at home). I became impressed with a friends tech savvy son “RC” and his knowledge using his iTouch.

RC – A student in junior high – budgeted his hard earned savings and purchased an iTouch. (with some help from the bank of DAD). It goes without saying that RC is a very bright boy who schooled me on the latest game apps. Now I am hooked on Flight Control and Angry Birds. High five buddy!!… or should I say fist bump?  

The evening reminded me that when we design, install a WiFi network, (or any network infrastructure) we must take into account future capacity and room for expansion. With capacity for future mobile devices, with more apps and more users. Network design must choose applications and hardware that will allow the network to grow.

Quick example: Wireless systems that utilize the 5 GHz band (802.11a) for the wireless mesh backhaul. A significant advantage, since the 2.4 GHz band is heavily used to the point of being crowded.

Hospitality Wireless Special

From what we hear from our Hospitality clients guest occupancy has been down during the winter. Business is starting to pick up a bit this spring and with summer approaching it is a good time to look at amenities and upgrade long overdue services.

Hotel guests are now pounding the hotel wireless networks with their iPhones, Netbooks, laptops and connecting to traffic intense sites like Pandora, YouTube, Hulu and maybe connecting back to their office for email and work. Nowadays almost no vacation lacks a few business emails.

A wireless network with spotty coverage, poor design, downtime, lack of features will drive guests away.

I have been told by a few clients that guests will not even check in if there isn’t sufficient wireless at the hotel.

SF WiFi resolves wireless network issues. Our Hotel General Managers are happy and the guests don’t complain to the front desk!! Well maybe guests still complain about the continental breakfast – but we can’t support that.

SF WiFi offers s FREE site survey to gather the necessary information for a proper wireless design.
