Netopia today announced a WiFi gateway with Quality of Service (QoS) controls for voice, video, and data services.
The 3300-VGx Series Triple Play Gateways use what Netopia has dubbed VGx Virtual Gateway which uses a combination of Virtual LAN and QoS to create up to eight individual service channels. These channels can then be dedicated to supporting various applications such as gaming, VoIP and video.
The gateways are available now through service providers and VARs only.
The Netopia Hot Spot Starter Kit ($329), which has been available for some time, is a turnkey public hotspot solution. It integrates with the Netopia Hot Spot Service to control and meter Wi-Fi access. The kit contains cards with unique access codes that are disposable for one-time use, in one-hour and one-day denominations.
Other managed hotspot gear includes the D-Link Airspot DSA-3100 Hot Spot Gateway ($499), which provides business owners a simple solution for adding public Internet service to their establishment while still maintaining the integrity of their existing network. Sputnik has a powerful $200 Gateway with centralized management capabilities.
