Telcos or
Wireless ISP (WISP)’s Large Hotspot Deployment
For Telcos or large hotspot operators, WHG801 brings in a convenient and economical way to deploy distributed
hotspot services. While most of the operators prefer to use external RADIUS servers as authentication database,
WHG801 in this architecture can play the role of a central RADIUS-NAS. For quick deployment, WHG801
supports two authentication methods: Web UAM and 802.1X. It is capable of supporting customized web UAM
pages uploaded locally as well as external web UAM pages residing on external web servers. Furthermore, the
concept of Service Zones of WHG801 allows one Controller to manage multiple franchised hotspots
simultaneously.
Hotel with Property Management System (PMS)
For hotels using Property Management System (PMS) such as Micros Fidelio/Opera, WHG801 even enables
Internet access charges to be incorporated into the room bill. Moreover, customers are able to purchase
Internet service in room anytime or at the front counter. With a single account, a hotel guest can log on the
Internet in room through a wired Ethernet port or enjoy wireless access throughout the hotel property. Before
the account expires or the quota purchased reaches its limit, the guest who wants to surf the Internet in his/her
room does not need to retype the password. WHG801 stands for the most cost-effective and easy-to-setup
Internet Access Controller for hotels. Not only can WHG801 manage and bill both wireless and in-room wired
Internet services for properties that have adopted modern IP network infrastructure, but it works for those who
only utilize traditional phone lines coupled with DSLAM and DSL modem equipments to deliver Internet to each
room.
