WHAT IS A WIFI GATEWAY?

A WiFi Gateway is a specially configured wireless router. It performs similar to a low-cost commercial router that you can purchase at your local computer shop. However, where it differs is in the firmware which controls the unit. The specially configured firmware forces the router to connect to Whotspot's backend servers on the internet. This allows your custom portal page to appear and requires all users to sign in with a valid account before they can surf freely. The intelligence is hosted on our servers, and the router simply takes orders from our servers based on what services you have asked us to perform. So, while you can purchase a lower cost WiFi Router at your local shop, you can not purchase  firmware-configured Whotspot Gateway there.

$499 Complete WiFi Package

The Whotspot Mobile is our lowest cost mobile wifi offering.  The Sputnik-Powered NexAira NexConnect uses 3G cellular networks or traditional DSL/cable service for backhaul. That means you can operate a managed Wi-Fi hotspot anywhere within range of cellular service—even in a moving vehicle such as a bus, train, or taxi, or ferry. Or, use the 3G connection for auto-failover in case wired broadband becomes unavailable.

The Whotspot Gateway can be deployed in a Hotspot or Hot Zone for public high-speed access the Internet. The Gateway immediately recognizes new end-users on the network, remembers returning users and redirects their browser to customized web pages. There's no need for end-users to change any of their network settings or load any special software to access your Hotspot services...its completely plug and play with any browser! The Integrated wireless access point is fully compatible with all WiFi 802.11b and 802.11g compliant devices and offers the highest output allowed by the FCC for fantastic range.

 
 

WHAT YOU ALSO NEED

With every Business Class intelligent WiFi Gateway you purchase, you should also get a mousepad, table cards, poster and sample surfcards. We call this our startup marketing kit. Each gateway purchase also includes a custom branded venue portal page, no merchant account required - Whotspot processes everything, accept all major credit cards, dynamic IP support - you can plug our gateway into your DSL or Cable modem or into another router - you do not need a static IP from your ISP - this alone saves you the cost of the package! - monthly statistics reports for online account purchases, technical support maintenance and monitoring.

With our Whotspot WiFi Gateway, you will be able to instantly charge surfers for internet access at a rate that you determine - or offer it for FREE. You can sell Prepaid, SurfCards or allow your customers to purchase an account online with their favourite credit card. We handle all the billing and subscriber management. We process the credit cards. All you need is an internet connection to get started immediately.

YOU MAY ALSO NEED

For larger or more complex installations, you may need additional WiFi access points, stronger (high-gain) antennas, repeaters or wireless bridges. (more...)

Our Gateways are preconfigured to support Dynamic IP and Static IP. However, if you are using PPPoE (Ask your ISP) you will need an additional low cost router to connect between the Whotspot Gateway and your DSL Modem. If you have a PPPoE connection from your ISP, it will be necessary to first connect another low cost router to your internet connection. Any router that supports PPPoE is fine. Typical products like the D-Link DI-604 or Netgear RP614 are excellent choices. After you have configured the router to connect to your ISP, simply plug the WS Gateway into one of the router’s LAN ports. No additional configuration will be needed. You may also purchase a router in our eStore.

 

Creating a Hot Spot couldn’t be easier!

  1. Scout out potential hotspot locations.  Read through our section on Market Solutions for some great ideas!

  2. Talk to the location owner. Explain how the system works. If the location owner is willing to purchase the equipment, sell it to them at the full list price. You will receive a commission directly from Whotspot, and recurring commissions on all revenue generated from users surfing at the location. If the location owner does not want to purchase the equipment, you buy it and own the WiFi location. Typically, you will offer the location owner a percentage of the revenue in the range of 10% - 20%. In a short while,  you will have recouped your investment and started up the path to profitability.

  3. To activate first, the wireless access device is connected to an existing High-Speed Internet connection.

  4. Next, anyone with an Wi-Fi ready computer will sign up for one of the convenient service plans on a customized portal page.

The customer is now wirelessly connected to the Internet anywhere within a 300 foot range of the access device! Buy One Now!
