Ease of Use - Nomadix's Bandwidth Management and Access Gateway appliances allow end users to access the Internet without making changes to their networks. "Set and Forget" functionality requires configuration only once during setup without administration oversight from then on.

Authentication - Nomadix's Bandwidth Management and Access Gateway appliances support multiple authentication types, including self-provisioning with credit card, or direct property management folio integration. Along with support for RADIUS, 802.1x and MAC authentication, Nomadix flexibility allows for any and all of the above authentication methods to be configured and utilized at the same time.

Bandwidth Management (BW) and control - The arsenal of bandwidth management tools provided by Nomadix enables network operators and system integrators to maximize their ROI from available Internet bandwidth capacity. This means that Internet bandwidth circuits do not need to be upgraded as frequently, even as the perceived demand for bandwidth continues to grow. Nomadix's Bandwidth Management and Access Gateway appliances support BW management per device or per group, bandwidth capping allows for control on a granular level for the operator to sell in tiered levels to groups.

The “Remember Me” function stores subscriber logins to create a better user experience.

Flexible billing options and seamless integration - With the ability to charge for internet access by volume, time or bandwidth consumed, guests now have options. Venue owners are afforded a similar level of flexibility, with the ability to charge for access with a wide variety of options, including credit card, RADIUS or via secure XML API, which includes interfaces to more than 30 property management system (PMS) types. With the AG 2500, venue owners are able to manage their networks on their terms, generating revenue at every touch point with the user before, during and after connecting.

Bandwidth Management - The quality of high-speed internet access continues to rank as one of the most complained about amenities in a hotel, and online reviews suffer when internet access is sub-par. With its access gateways, Nomadix continues to make enhancements in areas that improve the bottom line for hoteliers and visitor-based network providers. Bandwidth management is one of the biggest drivers of value in the hospitality arena and other venues where high-speed internet access is deployed. Nomadix understands this and is devoted to incorporating features in its access gateways to manage bandwidth actively, efficiently and fairly. By using Nomadix’s enhanced bandwidth management tools, guests are able to get the content they want at the speed they need, and venue owners are able to save money by delaying the need to buy additional bandwidth. Bandwidth can be managed by class of user, group, subscriber or device — or by a combination of all four. This allows operators to be less reliant on static bandwidth caps, while utilizing more of the network even when there are only a few guests.
