The Sputnik Agent http://www.sputnik.com/products/apf.html, a free software download, equips the popular Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS to work as hotspots in centrally managed networks.
Sputnik's central management software and "flashed" Linksys access points should make wireless "zones" cheap to buy, fast to install and easy to manage. It could open up a new wave of "free zones".
Network operators can monitor and manage the Linksys routers remotely using Sputnik Control Center management software. It can view real-time network status, generate usage reports, automatically provision APs, create custom captive portal pages, and choose from a variety of authentication methods for both end-users and devices.
A single Sputnik Control Center license costs $299 and manages from two to ten APs. As you add more APs to your wireless network, you add new AP licenses your Sputnik Control Center server. A reasonably equipped server should easily support hundreds of APs and thousands of users, says Sputnik.
It supports a range of Wi-Fi business models that includes free, branded Wi-Fi, pre-paid cards and credit card or PayPal account billing. Service providers who choose not to install server software can choose SputnikNet, a hosted service with no server hardware or software to install and maintain. VoIP-over-Wi-Fi handsets are also supported.
Sputnik is working with Linksys partners to develop the reseller channel for Sputnik wireless networks with broadband routers preloaded with Sputnik Agent software.
"By including these great Linksys routers in wireless networks managed by Sputnik software we will bring the benefits of cost- effective administration to a broader audience," said David LaDuke, Sputnik CEO.
Sputnik promises to make building, provisioning and managing a "wireless zone" a no brainer.
Watch the skies. The world just changed.
