Telcos or Wireless ISP (WISP)’s Large Hotspot Deployment
For Telcos or large hotspot operators, EWS5207 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, EWS5207 in this architecture can play the role of a central RADIUS-NAS. For quick
deployment, EWS5207 supports two authentication methods: Web UAM and 802.1X. 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 EWS5207 allows one Controller to
manage multiple franchised hotspots simultaneously.
Hotel with Property Management System (PMS)
For hotels using Property Management System (PMS) such as Micros Fidelio/Opera, EWS5207 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. EWS5207 stands for the most cost-effective and easy-to-setup
InternetAccess Controller for hotels. Not only can EWS5207 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 equipment to deliver Internet to each
room.
