Create instant wireless networks
A wireless hotspot or mesh network
based on a mesh based
nodes
needs to be connected to at least one broadband Internet connection
(DSL, fiber, cable, UMTS by using the
Xspot UMTS, or HSDPA by using
the Xspot 3G+).
User authentication is performed at the interconnection of the
wireless mesh network and the broadband connection.
With
the help of one the standard features of the network
services manager customers can simple start a wirelessly
enabled device, select the network, activate the
internet-browser and sign-up by using a credit card or enter
the user password combination.
To prevent any unauthorized users from using the networks resources,
such as browsing the Internet and using email services,
authentication takes place by the Xfire Hopbase. Only
users, which are successfully authenticated, can use the network.
Every node
requires separate control channel running from the mesh node to the
central servers. Through this control channel the
management server is able to communicate directly to each node. Each
control channel terminates on the Xfire Hoptun - VPN
Tunnel Terminator.
Bandwidth controller
If you build wireless mesh networks with
Hopling Technologies, you can reserve a certain amount
of bandwidth per metropolitan area network. To prevent
some customers to use all available bandwidth it is possible to
restrict the amount of bandwidth allocated to each customers using
the Xfire Hopbase as bandwidth controller. For example it is possible to
restrict the bandwidth for each customers to 256Kbps. Burst rates are
also supported. Using the burst rate settings it is possible for
customers to burst to a higher download rate when they are browsing
the internet, but for example file downloads are restricted to a
lower rate.
