Patterns of business and personal communication have changed dramatically over the past few years. For many people, whether in a local restaurant, an international airport, or a hotel across the country, staying in touch is no longer a luxury but a necessity.
Internet access for travelers previously meant numerous IP reconfiguration processes. With today’s increasing demand for High Speed Internet Access (HSIA) in all environments, simple and quick connectivity are becoming key features to any successful multi-user, public access Internet environment.
ZyXEL’s VSG-1000/1200 Vantage Service Gateway is specifically designed to meet multi-user needs while minimizing the overall level of support. In addition to greater bandwidth, ZyXEL offers many more features to facilitate new revenue generation.
The VSG-1000/1200 is a 1U high, freestanding or rack- mountable access gateway with a built-in server that authenticates subscribers and authorizes them to access the Internet. Its compact design makes it a perfect solution for installation in small, restrictive locations.
The plug-n-play feature makes Internet access equally simple as accessing the Internet in the office. Whatever network settings a subscriber’s workstation may have, the VSG-1000/1200 automatically connects a subscriber to the Internet without having to change any configuration settings.
Additionally, the security support allows telecommuters and other personnel to safely access important or confidential information while traveling. Flexible Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) give service providers an easy way to manage and maintain a large group of subscribers over the Internet. It also makes global Internet roaming service a possibility.
Portal redirection creates a new space for web-based advertisement and e-commerce such as car rental, local tours reservations, and similar services. Easy integration with an existing billing solution conveniently generates bills while simultaneously creating new revenue stream.
The VSG-1000/1200 offers service providers extensive management capabilities. With the built-in web-based management system, the VSG-1000/1200 offers an easy- to-use, platform-independent management and configuration tool. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support is another alternative that enables integration with any standard-based management software.
The advanced designs of the VSG-1000/1200 enable service providers to deploy broadband service to a large amount of customers quickly, at a lower cost than previously possible.
