Specifications

Feature-rich network access controller, 10,000 local and 10,000 on-demand accounts and capable of managing up to 250 access poin

The 4ipnet WHG515 Secure WLAN Controller in Gigabit Ethernet with built-in 10,000 local accounts, 10,000 on-demand accounts, is an ideal security solution for medium-to-large scale WLAN deployments, including enterprises, campuses, hotels, airport terminals, and MDUs/ MTUs. The WHG515 integrates “secure access control”, “visitor account provisioning”, “flexible accounting and billing”, and “centralized WLAN management” into one box to provide simplified manageability and instant mobility. With more powerful hardware, WHG515 is capable of centrally managing 250 Layer 2/Layer 3 4ipnet access points to cover a wider service area in a medium-to-large network.

Secure Business Networking

WHG515 is suitable for business in managing their wired and wireless network access uniformly. The network access of users from different departments and the access of guests can be segregated in different Service Zones. When needed, WHG515’s Local, Site-to-Site and Remote VPN tunnels can be used to further secure the information flows for business. Mobile workers on the road or home-based teleworkers can securely access the office network through remote VPN tunnels.

College Dormitories, Apartments or Hotels Networking

For college dormitories, apartments or hotels who want to cater for their tenants’ Internet access needs, WHG515 makes it easy to manage new tenant registrations and share bandwidth equally among tenants. Also, it is convenient to set up WHG515 to offer wireless Internet service at medium-to-large events, such as conventions, trade shows, and student spring break gatherings.

Secure corporate network over the Internet

With WHG515, businesses can easily bridge multiple offices under a centrally managed single internal network. VPN solutions from other service providers are no longer necessary, WHG515 with EAP-series AP can service distributed network locations as if under the same internal network via secure tunneling technology.

Hotel with Property Management System (PMS)

For hotels using Property Management System (PMS) such as Micros Fidelio/Opera, WHG515 even enables Internet access charges to be incorporated into the room bill. Moreover, customers are able to purchase Internet service in room anytime or at the front counter. With a single account, a hotel guest can log on the Internet in room through a wired Ethernet port or enjoy wireless access throughout the hotel property. Before the account expires or the quota purchased reaches its limit, the guest who wants to surf the Internet in his/her room does not need to retype the password. WHG515 stands for the most cost-effective and easy-to-setup Internet Access Controller for hotels. Not only can WHG515 manage and bill both wireless and in-room wired Internet services for properties that have adopted modern IP network infrastructure, but it works for those who only utilize traditional phone lines coupled with DSLAM and DSL modem equipments to deliver Internet to each room.

Telcos or Large Hotspot Operators Networking

For Telcos or large hotspot operators, WHG515 brings in a convenient and economical way to deploy distributed hotspot services. While most of the operators prefer to use external RADIUS servers as authentication database, WHG515 in this architecture can play the role of a central RADIUS-NAS. For quick deployment, WHG515 supports two authentication methods: UAM and 802.1X (including EAP-SIM and EAP-TTLS and etc). It is capable of supporting customized web UAM pages uploaded locally as well as external web UAM pages residing on external web servers. Furthermore, the concept of Service Zones of WHG515 allows one Controller to manage multiple franchised hotspots simultaneously. In summary, the feature-rich WHG515 supports multiple business models of Internet Access Services - be it for managing wireless or wired clients. It can be configured to fit for private corporations, government agencies, academic campuses, multi-tenant units (MTU), hotels, WISP or telco’s hotspot operations. The 4ipnet WHG-series products aim to offer the best price-performance among all access controllers on nowadays market.

Support for Location-Based Hotspot Services and Customizable UAM Web Pages

The logical concept of Service Zone allows the Controller to differentiate clients by locations and to provide different user experiences (such as different login pages) and network policies.
When coupling with VLAN switches and DSLAM devices, the Controller can use its Port Mapping feature to tell the location of each client and therefore provide differentiated services. For example, a hotel guest would not need to type in the password again every time when accessing the Internet in room.
By setting up multiple Service Zones and utilizing customized pages or external pages, a single Controller can serve multiple hotspot franchises transparently to the clients.
Seamless L2/L3 roaming.

PMS Integration for Hotel Applications

A hotel guest can obtain an Internet access account at check-in counter, or sign up for the Internet access service in room anytime without the help of clerks. With PMS integration, the guest will receive a single room bill.
With a single account, a guest will be able to access the Internet by wire in room or by wireless connection anywhere within the service range of APs connecting to the Controller.
