In the Hotel and Hotspot Solution,
the Access Controller (AC) could provide the advanced
AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting)
functionality with e-Billing feature. The hotspot
owner could manage the customers with predefined access
and billing plans for post-pay subscribers by built-in
AAA. Also the AC supports pre-paid account with an
optional account printer for quick and easy internet
access.
The integrated real-time accounting system is based
on standard RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-in
User Service)/EAP and supports various billing plans
from prepaid, pay-per-time, per-volume, per-use or
flat rate. Integration in to existing OSS/BSS (operations
and business support systems) systems could be completed
with ease.
The UAM (Universal Access Method) of
the AC is a key feature in this solution to control
user access. The AC also supports multiple secure
authentication methods ranging from standard web browser
login, MAC authentication, to 802.1x/EAP (Extensible
Authentication Protocol) with passwords, certificates
or SIM cards. When users log off, the AC will send
all information including connection, time, and usage
based information to backend RADIUS of Home Entity
respectively for billing.
The UAT of AC could accept and translate
fixed company IP settings, and web proxy configurations,
so users do not have to reset their corporate IP or
web setting. What users have to do is to start browser
and to login with a username and password. It makes
accessing Internet very easy and user-friendly.
Browan's Dual Radio Access Point (AP)
simultaneously supports 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g,
and supports up to 32 MBSSIDs (Multiple Basic Service
Set Identification) per radio (16 BSSIDs per card).
Each BSSID could be configured independently to support
a range of security policies, authentication models,
RADIUS severs and VLAN IDs. Also each BSSID could
be set different priority based on 802.1p tag or 802.11e
EDCA which enables WLAN client devise to access wireless
link QoS (Quality of Service) capabilities. The key
point of the AP setting here is the security issue.
AP provides Layer2 Isolation for preventing snooping
on the same BSS, and hide the SSID broadcast to prevent
illegal users' connections.
