7.2 LANCOM Public Spot Option

Wireless Public Spots are publicly accessible areas where users can use their

own mobile computers to access a wireless network (such as a company net-

work or the Internet).

Wireless LAN technology is ideal for offering wireless Internet services to the

public in locations such as airports, railway stations, restaurants or cafes via

so-called HotSpots. The LANCOM Public Spot Option is intended for operators

of public wireless networks. It enables the easy installation and maintenance

of public HotSpots by providing LANCOM Access Points and LANCOM Routers

with additional functions for authentication and billing for public Internet ser-

vices.

Authentication and billing for individual users is implemented with user-

friendly Web pages, enabling client PCs with a WiFi-certified wireless card

(el.g. AirLancer) and standard Internet browser to go directly online.

The LANCOM Public Spot Option is the ideal solution for public wireless LAN.

Wireless LAN are very well suited for company networks and for wireless net-

working in the home. However, for public access services the standard setup

lacks important mechanisms for authentication and billing of individual users

(AAA — authentication, authorization, accounting). This is remedied by the

LANCOM Systems Open User Authentication (OUA), the core component of

the LANCOM Public Spot Option. OUA implements the authentication of all

wireless clients by user name and password. It checks the authorization of

each user with a RADIUS server. Accounting data (online time, volumes) on a

per user and per session basis can be passed on to the central RADIUS server.

All the client PC needs is a wireless card (el.g. AirLancer), TCP/IP, and an Inter-

net browser. No further software is required. The Public Spot Option is opti-

mally suited for setting up wireless Internet access services in hotels,
