Introduction 3
Key Features and Benefits
The AG 3100 is a 1U high, free-standing or rack-mountable Access Gateway that employs
three fast Ethernet ports to interface with the router (one for network side) and the aggregation
equipment (two for subscriber side) within the network. It also incorporates an RS232 serial
port for connecting to a Property Management System (PMS) and for system management and
administration, while maintaining one billing relationship with their chosen provider.
The AG 3100 enables a wide variety of network deployment options for different venue types.
For example:
z Allows for flexible WAN Connectivity (T1/E1, Cable, xDSL, and ISDN).
z Supports 802.11a/b/g and hybrid networks utilizing wired Ethernet.
z Supports key requirements needed to be compliant with the Wi-Fi ZONE™ program.
z Lets you segment your existing network into public and private sections using
VLANs, then leverage your existing network investment to create new revenue
streams.
z Enables you to provide Wi-Fi access as a billable service or as an amenity to augment
the main line of business for your venue.
z Contains an advanced XML interface for accepting and processing XML commands,
allowing the implementation of a variety of service plans and offerings.
z Offers three user-friendly ways of remote management—through a Web interface,
SNMP MIBs, and Telnet interfaces—allowing for scalable, large Public access
deployments.
Platform Reliability
The AG 3100 is designed as a network appliance, providing maximum uptime and reliability
unlike competitive offerings that use a server-based platform.
Local Content and Services
The AG 3100’s Portal Page intercepts the user’s browser settings and directs to a designated
Web site to securely sign up for service or log in if they have a pre-existing account.
z Allows the provider to present their customers with local services or have the user
sign up for service at zero expense.
z Offers both pre and post authentication redirects of the user’s browser, providing
maximum flexibility in service branding
