A Hotspot is a location which allows the public to access the Internet. The access is most commonly provided with 802.11b/g wireless Ethernet. Access can be 'free-to-surf' or 'pay-to-surf' depending on the preferences of the Hotspot provider.

The Thinix 1330W provides everything you need to create a powerful, yet easy-to-use, Wireless Hotspot for hotels, cyber cafes, restaurants, libraries and any location where you desire the public to have Internet access.

Small wireless routers are frequently installed where a Hotspot is needed. This approach has numerous problems, with the core issues being the inability to restrict bandwidth used by guests, or require guests to agree to your policies before accessing the Internet. Furthermore, it is commonly prohibitively expensive and too complex to configure servers and software required to bill guests for Internet access. The TA-1330W solves these problems, and is offered as a highly reliable, pre-configured managed solution which is ready to be installed into your network.
