MSG HOTSPOT GATEWAY
Manage & monetise Wi-Fi in hotels, cafés, universities, schools, hospitals, airports, convention centers, markets, shopping malls, and other public venues.
The MSG Hotspot Gateway Series combines a router with an AAA, portal, prepay, and billing system into a ready to deploy gateway that can manage & monetise Wi-Fi for any public areas requiring hotspot wireless access like hotels, universities, airports, cafes, hospitals, or any other public venues. The all-in-one solution eliminates the need for multi-device deployment.
Just Add Wi-Fi & Internet!
The MSG appliance combines a hotspot network controller with customer management software, providing a complete solution for venue owners to launch Wi-Fi services.
Venue owners simply add Wi-Fi Access Points (with or without a controller) and an Internet connection to the MSG to get their hotspot going.
Many Ways to Sign-Up Customers
The MSG offers a built-in portal and self-care system. All new customers are redirected to a login page where they can first register using forms or a simple mobile number with an OTP verification code.
Prepay PIN, scratch card, Internet plan purchase using a credit card, or roaming from aggregators such as iPass are all supported. Returning customers are seamlessly recognised with zero-touch access.
Networking
The MSG Series networking features include L2-L3 flow classification, IP routing, NAT (SNAT), policy routing, walled garden, IP & web Filtering Firewall, and multi-ISP link load balancing with failover. Customer can directly plug in an ISP connection and their Wi-Fi network to launch their hotspot services.
Free or Paid Access
The MSG can concurrently handle multiple business cases. Free users can be verified via OTP and be limited on time or download volume. Prepay physical or virtual vouchers can be used to charge for services where either cash is paid at a venue or online credit card payment is accepted. MSG also supports monthly or longer-term customer plans with postpaid invoices being sent to customers
Content Filtering & Lawful Compliance
