AllCity Wireless created the WiDirect device to meet the backend needs of wireless network providers. This customized hardware and software solution manages the network and the users, and supports sales models such as advertisement and/or fee-based usage. User authentication and network monitoring are done right on the device, and there are no recurring per-user fees.
If you or your customer desires any of the following:
A robust network management platform for Wi-Fi access points
Multiple branding on pages on a per-SSID basis, show static advertisements, or bring in dynamic ads from third party sources
To automatically interface with PayPal, Authorize.net, or 3rd party billing provider to process access fees to a Wi-Fi network
To save money by managing users directly on the device instead of using a third party hosted solution
To introduce advertising or walled garden to a Wi-Fi network.
...Then the WiDirect device is your solution!
AllCity Wireless' WiDirect device provides a scalable and simple way to deploy, sell and manage medium to large scale wireless networks.
Using a simple plug and play configuration, the WiDirect has an easy to use GUI user interface making the navigation of the system a snap. The small WiDirect supports 50 APs and comes with 5,000 subscriber licenses.
