Coverage and Customisation
A standalone device will cover up to 150 metres.
To increase this coverage range for larger sites
or those with complex infrastructure, the hotspot
range can be extended through the use of wireless
boosters as well as internal and external antennas.
boosters
NetComm internal booster units are available to
amplify the wireless signal. These devices connect
directly onto one of the antenna ports of the hotspot
and work to increase the range.
Booster units can only be connected to the hotspot
and not to an external antenna.
Antenna
NetComm offer antennas which can be used
in conjunction with a hotspot. Antennas are for
external use and are designed to be wall mounted
in an outdoor area to spread the range of the
wireless signal.
How does a customer use my
NetComm Wireless Hotspot
Once you have your Hotspot installed, it will broadcast a wireless signal which can be found
by any wireless enabled notebook or PDA. Your Hotspot can be found by using the
search for
wireless networks

When the user select this device and connects they will be presented with a log in page on
opening their web browser.
To log in they will need to provide the username and password that has been generated by the
printer to be able to log on. The unit is set with the price/time ratios and the unit will count down
the time that they have paid for. Should they wish to purchase more time, they simply receive
another user name and password.
If the user does not have a user name and password they will
be denied access. Using in-built Layer 2 security, users are
prevented from accessing another users data traffic or seeing
anyone else on the network.
Built-in SSL login provides safe and secure authentication
protection at all times. What’s more VPN pass through allows
your customers to securely connect to their own office network.
The customer will have a pop up window that counts down the time they have remaining and
when the time counts down to zero the user will be disconnected from the internet and need to
repurchase another set of time to reconnect.
