To enable easy configuration and operation, the ZyXEL Hotspot/Service Gateway Series can be used with the optional SP300E Service Gateway Printer. With 

this combination, business owners can easily enable their staff to operate the gateway solution to give end users the information they need to access the 

Internet. This is achieved by simply pushing a button on the SP300E, and then it automatically prints the Internet access information. This removes the need in 

smaller deployments for a dedicated PC to manage the authentication and billing within the business. In larger business environments, the ZyXEL 

Hotspot/Service Gateway Series can support up to ten SP300E printers installed in different locations around the premises. This provides an ideal solution that 

can scale as the business expands and where greater Internet coverage is required.

Users who want to access a business Hotspot are usually faced with various technical issues to establish connectivity and need information such as IP 

configurations, static IP, DHCP clients, etc. The ZyXEL Hotspot/Service Gateway Series is equipped with IP Plug and Play technology so that users do not need to 

change their existing IP and other network configurations to connect to the Internet. The access is fast, easy and trouble free thus increasing usage and 

encouraging more users to use the service. This offers the hospitality businesses more opportunity to attract and retain customers while delivering new 

revenue streams. In addition, the ZyXEL Hotspot/Service Gateway Series can be configured to interact within an existing network and can be installed in 

different modes such as a gateway, DNS, proxy as well as dynamic and static IP address assignments. This eliminates the need and associated costs of hiring 

dedicated IT staff.

The “EU Data Retention Directive”, which is Directive 2006/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006, stipulates the retention of 

data generated or processed in connection with the provision of publicly available electronic communications services or of public communications networks 

and amends Directive 2002/58/EC. It requires business owners of places where Internet services are provided to keep several elements of the user data for a 

certain period of time. ZyXEL is aware of the difficulties of business owners to deploy a service and meet the requirements. The ZyXEL Hotspot/Service 

Gateway Series is a core part of the solution when installed along with a ZyXEL network attached storage device and ZyWALL Unified Security Gateway to 

enable businesses to meet the expectations of the directive. This is achieved by ensuring that session traces are logged and user activities are kept for 

government audit if required. ZyXEL’s Hotspot/Service Gateway Series is the right choice for business owners who intend to provide regulation-compliant 

public Internet access.

The ZyXEL Hotspot/Service Gateway Series can be installed either as a standalone device connected directly to a broadband router to be an all-in-one Internet 

wireless Hotspot solution, or just as part of a larger network. This flexibility provides businesses with a device of full authentication, authorization and 

administration capability to control the wireless users. This functionality enables businesses to define the policy about how users can be offered secure 

Internet access either for free or for a fee through a simple charging mechanism. The introduction of the N4100 extends the wireless technology to 

802.11b/g/n for better coverage while supporting 100 simultaneous users as standard and 200 users through an optional license. The last product in the Series 

is the VSG-1200 V2, a rack-mount service gateway designed for larger networks and supports up to 250 simultaneous users.

Experiencing secure, always-on and easy-to-use connectivity is a good 

way to make customers feel way to increase customer satisfaction.

A well-designed broadband Internet access solution offers an extensive 

range of marketing and revenue enhancing opportunities such as:

  In-room revenue 

Meeting room revenue

  Online advertising income 

E-commerce

  Special services such as VoIP, printing online, 

  Video on Demand (VoD), etc.

A complete, easy-to-use broadband internet infrastructure attracts more 

customers, increases occupancy rates and enhances perception of the 

hotel brand.

The solution allows authorised users onto the network and keeps data 

private as it travels through the airwaves. It keeps security threats at bay 

and enables business to comply with EU Directives.

Through feature-rich products, operational simplicity, and flexible 

architecture, ZyXEL hospitality solutions can help to improve profits and 

protect investments.
