Billing Enablement
The Access Gateway supports billing plans using PayPal, scratch cards, or monthly subscriptions, or direct
billing to a hotel’s Property Management System (PMS) and can base the billable event on a number of
different parameters such as time, volume, IP address type, or bandwidth.
Access Control and Authentication
The Access Gateway ensures that all traffic to the Internet is blocked until authentication has been completed,
creating an additional level of security in the network. Also, the Access Gateway allows service providers to
create their own unique “walled garden,” enabling users to access only certain predetermined Web sites before
they have been authenticated.
Nomadix simultaneously supports the secure browser-based Universal Access Method (UAM), IEEE 802.1x,
and Smart Clients for companies such as Adjungo Networks, Boingo Wireless, GRIC and iPass. MAC-based
authentication is also available.
Security
The patented iNAT™ (Intelligent Network Address Translation) feature creates an intelligent mapping of IP
Addresses and their associated VPN tunnels—by far the most reliable multi- session VPN passthrough to be
tested against diverse VPN termination servers from companies such as Cisco, Checkpoint, Nortel and
Microsoft. Nomadix’ iNAT feature allows multiple tunnels to be established to the same VPN server, creating
a seamless connection for all users on the network.
The Access Gateway provides fine-grain management of DoS (Denial of Service) attacks through its Session
Rate Limiting (SRL) feature, and MAC filtering for improved network reliability.
