ZyXEL Communications VANTAGE SERVICE GATEWAY VSG-1000/1200 Specifications

VSG-1000/1200
Vantage Service Gateway
Patterns of business and personal communication have
changed dramatically over the past few years. For many
people, whether in a local restaurant, an international
airport, or a hotel across the country, staying in touch is
no longer a luxury but a necessity.
Internet access for travelers previously meant numerous
IP reconfiguration processes. With today's increasing
demand for High Speed Internet Access (HSIA) in all
environments, simple and quick connectivity are
becoming key features to any successful multi-user,
public access Internet environment.
ZyXEL's VSG-1000/1200 Vantage Service Gateway is
specifically designed to meet multi-user needs while
minimizing the overall level of support. In addition to
greater bandwidth, ZyXEL offers many more features to
facilitate new revenue generation.
The VSG-1000/1200 is a 1U high, freestanding or rack-
mountable access gateway with a built-in server that
authenticates subscribers and authorizes them to access
the Internet. Its compact design makes it a perfect
solution for installation in small, restrictive locations.
The plug-n-play feature makes Internet access equally
simple as accessing the Internet in the office. Whatever
network settings a subscriber's workstation may have,
the VSG-1000/1200 automatically connects a subscriber
to the Internet without having to change any
configuration settings.
Additionally, the security support allows telecommuters
and other personnel to safely access important or
confidential information while traveling. Flexible
Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA)
give service providers an easy way to manage and
maintain a large group of subscribers over the Internet.
It also makes global Internet roaming service a possibility.
Portal redirection creates a new space for web-based
advertisement and e-commerce such as car rental, local
tours reservations, and similar services. Easy integration
with an existing billing solution conveniently generates
bills while simultaneously creating new revenue stream.
The VSG-1000/1200 offers service providers extensive
management capabilities. With the built-in web-based
management system, the VSG-1000/1200 offers an easy-
to-use, platform-independent management and
configuration tool. Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) support is another alternative that
enables integration with any standard-based
management software.
The advanced designs of the VSG-1000/1200 enable
service providers to deploy broadband service to a large
amount of customers quickly, at a lower cost than
previously possible.
