WISP Subscriber and Network Management all in one boxeasywisp.com/easyWISP product data sheet ver.1.7.pdf · • Hotspot authentication and management for anonymous subscribers •

� How does a complete WISP system fit into a small box?

� Very simple, all the back office features that a WISP needs to operate the business are installed on a small but powerful computer that has SSD database storage. Subscriber facing features are added with the easyWISP cloud service. EasyWISP can be configured for a small start-up WISP and expanded as the WISP grows larger: from a handful of subscribers to tens of thousands of subscribers. As the WISP’s business grows the network architecture is adapted for a larger subscriber volume.

�

Is easyWISP expensive like other WISP systems? � No, just the opposite, the cost is very low. There is no charge per subscriber.

Purchase a gateway and that is all you pay. No additional charges. If you need the additional subscriber facing features then pay for the easyWISP Cloud service, a small monthly charge per Subscriber Gateway.

• 1-year warranty against defects for gateway products

• Free support via our EZ-ticket system and a response within 1 business day

• Free lifetime software upgrades for subscriber gateway products

�

Who was the easyWISP product designed for? � EasyWISP was designed for people with basic IT skills who want to start a WISP

business, with very little financial investment, and who want to have a professional operation from day 1. No specialist networking skills are required with easyWISP.

• Post-pay and pre-pay subscriber management, integrated RADIUS server

• Hotspot authentication and management for anonymous subscribers

• Monitoring and management of network inventory with failure alerting

• Consolidated reporting: network usage and users, download CSV file

• Use in conjunction with a financial accounting package (like Quickbooks)

� Is the EZ-Cloud necessary to operate a WISP business?

� No. All the essential features that the WISP needs are contained in the Subscriber Gateway. The EZ-Cloud adds web based business and customer facing features that enhance the business operation as the business grows.

• Subscriber on-line support request and trouble ticket management

• Subscriber account access and on-line payment

• Work order entry and field work order access

• Consolidated reporting and monitoring for multiple subscriber gateways

• EZ-Server option for in-house cloud installation to enhance security

Level 1: Stand-alone management

The diagram shows the network architecture for a small WISP with a single tower. A single easyWISP EZ-50 or EZ-150 Subscriber Controller manages the subscribers provisioned from one tower. The easyWISP Subscriber Controller can be managed locally at the tower site, and remotely via the Internet. EasyWISP implementation cost starts at less than five hundred dollars.

Level 2: EZ-Cloud management

The diagram shows the network architecture for a growing WISP with a few towers. Multiple easyWISP Subscriber Controllers are managed via the easyWISP cloud which requires a monthly subscription. Each Subscriber Controller can still be managed locally or remotely, however multiple controllers can be managed from the EZ-Cloud. The EZ-Cloud provides Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) features, and has remote management of gateways plus consolidated reporting.

Level 3: EZ-Server management

The diagram shows the network architecture for a large WISP with multiple towers. The WISP's management system is very secure as it is implemented within a private network that is firewalled from the Internet. Multiple easyWISP Subscriber Controllers are managed using an easyWISP EZ-Server that communicates with Subscriber Controllers within the WISP’s private network. The WISP's private network can be geographically dispersed, interconnected using VPN's.

Single radio site: up to 50 subscribers Network architecture for a small WISP with a single tower. A single easyWISP EZ-50 subscriber controller manages up to 50 subscribers provisioned from a single radio on one tower.

Triple radio site: up to 150 subscribers Network architecture for a small WISP with a single tower. A single easyWISP EZ-150 subscriber controller manages up to 150 subscribers provisioned from three radios installed on one tower. Dual WAN provides load balance and failover to improve site reliability

Multiple radio site: up to 600 subscribers Network architecture for a small WISP with multiple radios located on a single tower, or multiple towers in one location. A single easyWISP EZ-600 subscriber controller manages up to 600 subscribers provisioned from up to twelve radios installed on one tower, or several towers in close proximity. Quad WAN provides load balance and failover to greatly improve site reliability

WISP Subscriber and Network Management…. all in one box

As the WISP's subscriber base grows the WISP will begin operating with multiple towers. Subscriber management will also necessitate the addition of Web base features like subscriber access to the account, subscriber support request and field access to work orders. Multiple Subscriber Gateways can be managed with the easyWISP EZ-Cloud service which also facilitates remote management and monitoring of the network components. This is shown in the diagram above.

The EZ-Cloud is a very low cost approach to building out the WISP's network. EasyWISP Subscriber Gateway's use a polling/tunnel method to access the EZ-Cloud and eliminate open ports that might be a security risk. However the WISP can improve security by building a private network that is firewalled from the Internet and installing the EZ-Server inside the private network, as shown in the diagram below.
