LANCOM Public Spot Option

Wireless public spots are publicly accessible points, at which users with their
own mobile computers can dial wirelessly into a network, usually into the
Internet.

The Wireless LAN technology is ideally suitable to offer wireless Internet ser-
vices to the public at places such as airports, hotels, stations, restaurants or
cafés, so-called Public Hot Spots. The LANCOM Public Spot Option is intended
for operators of public wireless networks, and unveils additional functions for
authentication and billing of public Internet services for the LANCOM, thus
enabling a simple set-up and maintenance of public hot spots.
The authentication and billing of the individual users is realized via user-fri-
endly web sites, so that client PCs with a Wi-Fi certificated radio card (e.g.
AirLancer) and a standard Internet browser can directly go online.
The LANCOM Public Spot Option is the optimal solution for public Wireless
LANs. Wireless LANs are very suitable for company networks and for wireless
networking at home. But for public access services, there is a lack of mecha-
nisms for authentication and billing of single users (AAA - Authentication /
Authorisation / Accounting). This lack remedies the LANCOM Systems Open
User Authentication (OUA), the main part of the LANCOM Public Spot Option.
The OUA procedure realizes the authentication of all wireless clients via user
name and password, and checks the authorization of single users via RADIUS.

Please note that the operation of a Access Point with LANCOM
Public Spot Option (sometimes referred as HotSpot) is possibly sub-
ject to certain legal regulations. Please inform yourself concerning
relevant regulations before installing a Access Point. Further infor-
mation to this topic can be found in our whitepaper „Public Spots
- Operators' rights and obligations", available as download from
