I was just going through an old Linksys AP running DD-WRT and looking at their Hotspot portal companies. I see Sputnik, Wifidog, and Chillispot. Are any of these companies still going? What do they charge? Can we do this on our own, with Linux type stuff?
I have a few remote clients that I am serving from a NS2 that I may be able to use this service with. By remote clients, I mean clients that can see one of my other client's that are using Canopy. There are usually at least 5 or more other households that can see the same NS2. In the past, I have always manually configured an Outdoor unit that can connect to the NS2 if a close client could receive it and called about the service. If I could put a hotspot out there, we may be able to get more if they tested the waters first and could connect to it with standard laptop hardware. I installed an outside NS2 just today that could see a NS2 AP at 1/2 mile with -60dB, and a noise floor of -95dB. I saw almost a 50% signal with the Wifi on a EEE PC onboard wireless. I see one selling point that us WISP have is that you can use your cell phone for communication, a satellite dish for TV, and a WISP for good Internet. Has anyone got anything radius related hooking to RadiusNT from IEA software? We still have a radius server running their software for our dial-ups. If not, I am still looking at outsourcing this if a company has a reputable reputation. TIA. Scottie Wireless High Speed Broadband service from Info-Ed, Inc. as low as $30.00/mth.
