UniBox provides a redirect function whereby the network user is redirected to a captive
portal before getting access to network resource like Internet. UniBox also provides a local
authentication mechanism to authenticate the users via the RADIUS server. In addition, the
administrator can also configure UniBox to authenticate users via an external RADIUS server.
Bandwidth Management
Bandwidth management is increasingly an important function for public access networks –
wired or wireless. With the explosive growth of online video and rich-media applications,
there is increasing demand for bandwidth and allocating fair bandwidth among users has
become extremely important.
UniBox provides several bandwidth control mechanism and policies to regulate the
bandwidth for each user. This allows administrators to implement fair usage policy among
the users and not allow anyone to hog the bandwidth.
Policies
UniBox implements various policies to control access and bandwidth of the online users.
Administrators can categorize users into various groups and apply the policies on a group
basis. The policies help the administrator implement fair usage, penalize users or limit
bandwidth for each user.
Captive Portal
Captive portal is the first page the users see when she connects to the network. The captive
portal is used to identify the user before the user gets access to the network resource like
Internet. The captive portal can be either hosted on UniBox or it can be loaded from an
external web server. UniBox provides a simple, template-based captive portal design that the
administrators can easily customize with the company branding.
The external captive portal provides administrators much more flexibility and control on the
design and layout of the web page.
Billing
Billing is an important function for Wi-Fi hotspots. UniBox provides a billing engine that gets
seamlessly integrated with the captive portals. Billing can be done either using access
(prepaid) codes or using credit card or PayPal. Administrators can define various billing plans
in the system and offer the billing plans to the guest on the captive portal. Alternatively she
can also generate batch of access codes and distribute them to the end users. Billing section
also generates various reports to track the monthly revenues from the hotspot.
