4ipnet NetTicketGen Network Ticket Generator Set, SDS100 Smart Device Server and PRT100 POS Printer, is able to provide the easy hotspot solution that turns your venue instantly into a managed, branded and moneymaking hotspot.

SDS100 Device Server and PRT100 POS Printer lead a simpler way to serve the hotspot area. Designed to support account generation, SDS100 Device Server triggers the built-in On-Demand billing plan(s) inside 4ipnet WHG Controllers or HSG Gateways and then prints account tickets with the PRT100 POS Printer. Each WHG Controller or HSG Gateway can simultaneously support multiple NetTicketGen Network Ticket Generator Sets via the network. The on-demand accounts can be generated at the counter by the hotspot owner by pressing a few buttons on the SDS100 Device Server to print account tickets. All PRT100 POS Printers connect directly to SDS100 Device Server with serial port (in RS-232) and SDS100 has a standard TCP/IP (in RJ-45) interface, so it is easy for NetTicketGen Network Ticket Generator Set to join your network!

Project Requirements:
• Wireless network backhaul
• Outdoor equipment
• Minimize, mitigate RF interference
• Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• Stable connectivity
• Install AP’s where 120v power is not accessible
• Centralized and simplified management
• Manageability features and ease of use
• Keep costs within budget

Solution:
SF WiFi installed high performance point to point equipment to extend the network from building A to building B. Combined with our proprietary custom design and PoE radios, SF WiFi enabled the client to have reliable and stable WiFi connections without additional costs of installing electrical outlets or access points. The client now has extended network between Buildings A and B for user laptops and handheld devices.

Point to point wireless business applications:
Provide coverage to complex spaces such as business offices and campuses
Establish point-to-point link between separate buildings
Deploy Internet, network distribution to remote sites (such as mobile parks, construction sites and festival events).

Simple WPA2 security fix: Enable client isolation on your wireless network. Client isolation blocks two wireless clients attached to the same access point from talking with each other, which is critical to the success of this attack.

 The Majestic Hotel contacted us about installing a more powerful and efficient wireless network than their existing system. They had been using a legacy wireless solution that had many issues including proper signal coverage. As a result, guests’ computers were constantly dropping off the Internet. This was causing the hotel to lose guests and lose revenue so they contacted SF WiFi to propose a guest wireless network solution for the 33,000 square foot property and we were awarded the project.

Hotel Overview

The Hotel Majestic was constructed in 1902 and is San Francisco’s oldest continuously operating hotel. With distinctive French bay windows, Edwardian styling with vintage architectural details and adorned with French and English antiques. The Majestic not only offers guest the gracious traditions of yesteryear but also provides the guest with all the modern essentials of today.

 Hotel Specs: The property consists of 5 floors, 58 rooms, café bar and restaurant and 2 meeting rooms. Guests were complaining that the wireless coverage was limited, connections and performance was erratic. Adding additional Wi-Fi access points (APs) was not an option because there was no way to extend ethernet cabling throughout the property. The Majestic needed an innovative solution that would satisfy customers without disrupting business or breaking their capital budget.

 SF WiFi gets the call – Project Requirements:

• Wireless coverage throughout the entire hotel
• Minimize the number of access points
• Minimize, mitigate RF interference
• Install AP’s where Ethernet can’t reach
• Centralized and simplified management
• Reduce install times
• Self-configuring, self-tuning adaptive wireless
• Reliable and stable with no support calls
• Consistent performance

SF WiFi solution:

To work around and to minimize the need for additional ethernet cabling we designed a wireless mesh network. Under normal circumstances ethernet cabling is required for all conventional wireless equipment. The SF WiFi design solution implements a WLAN managed mesh network to extend wireless coverage into difficult areas. This design limited the amount of cable required, reduced costs and simplified the installation.   

Benefits:

• Reduced capital costs by eliminating the need to run ethernet
• Dependable Wi-Fi signal quality
• Single Wi-Fi solution for entire hotel
• Mesh design simplified AP placement (product feature)
• Automatic interference avoidance (product feature)
• Automatic failover and resiliency (product feature)
• Wi-Fi coverage with fewer APs (product feature)
• Utilized Power over Ethernet
• One third the cost of “other” wireless product solutions

An AT&T spokesman said the company supports Apple’s move to provide a free bumper and said it would waive the restocking fees for returned iPhone 4s.

RC – A student in junior high – budgeted his hard earned savings and purchased an iTouch. (with some help from the bank of DAD). It goes without saying that RC is a very bright boy who schooled me on the latest game apps. Now I am hooked on Flight Control and Angry Birds. High five buddy!!… or should I say fist bump?  

The evening reminded me that when we design, install a WiFi network, (or any network infrastructure) we must take into account future capacity and room for expansion. With capacity for future mobile devices, with more apps and more users. Network design must choose applications and hardware that will allow the network to grow.

Quick example: Wireless systems that utilize the 5 GHz band (802.11a) for the wireless mesh backhaul. A significant advantage, since the 2.4 GHz band is heavily used to the point of being crowded.
