Duration-based Billing Plans
The purpose of this feature is to let hotels create billing plans that work in a similar fashion to pre-paid
telephone cards. This means that an operator can set the Access Gateway’s Internal Web Server (IWS) to
allow users online on a time “X” over period “Y” basis. Standard billing plans (where time “X” = period “Y”)
can be used concurrently with “X” over “Y” plans. For example, multiple plans with flexible billing event
options can be rolled out, such as:

Plan A: 24 hours, 256kbit/s downstream, 128Kbit/s upstream, public IPaddress, $15 charge.

Plan B: 8 hours to be used over 5 days, 512Kbit/s downstream, 256Kbit/s upstream, private IP
address, $35 charge.

Plan C: 1 week, 1Mbit/s downstream, 1Mbit/s upstream, public IP address, $99 charge.
In addition to PayPal billing, Property Management Systems used by hotels are also supported along with the
internal data base of the Access Gateway and billing via Nomadix' secure XML API.
