Integrate Billing System

The ZyXEL Hotspot Management features a Billing System with SMS Ticketing via ViaNett (global SMS provider), which enables venue owners to create different Internet access levels and deliver account information to the customers's mobile phones directly.

Walled Garden and Advertisement
The ZyXEL USG/ZyWALL and UAG Series blocks traffic to the Internet until the users sign up for the service to access another network security level. The "Walled garden" can be referred as an environment for user access control, where users are restricted to certain contents on a Web site and are only allowed to navigate specific areas within. The ZyXEL Hotspot Management utilizes walled garden technology to help venue owners to prevent users from accessing some Web sites. Venue owners can specify certain sites or display advertisements that are accessible without agreeing to the terms. Unauthenticated users are asked to set up an account or enter a password to gain access to the contents, and they are allowed to leave the walled garden only when the authentication is valid.

Multiple Web Authentications
The ZyXEL Hotspot Management supports internal and external captive portal as well as mobile view pages through multiple Web authentication options. Venue owners are able to customize guest login pages with specific welcome messages and access details for internal captive portal usage, or set up links to direct users to external login pages. With multiple authentications, venue owners can easily control and authenticate access to the Internet to provide highly secured guest access to visitors and other users.

User Agreement
ZyXEL's Hotspot Management comes along with a User Agreement feature that supports both internal and external user agreement pages, while the internal user agreement page can retain user information like names, phone numbers, addresses and emails, etc. Once the user agreement is accepted, the customers are granted access to the Internet.
