The need for Public Access
Constant information and the ability to receive important
e-mails anywhere, knowing your customers….
These are the priorities in this modern age of information
and communications, for business and personal life.
This is why many hotels, cafés, hospitals, public authorities
and companies are offering their customers paid or unpaid
access to the Internet via what are known as hotspots.
Be it via wired or wireless LAN: Yo Wireless allows you to set
up secure Internet access accounts – quickly and easily.
The challenge
Do you know who is using your internet connection?
Opening up your wireless network to unauthenticated users exposes you to many risks
•
•
Illegal file downloads
Criminal activities
•
Pirated music and video
sharing
•
•
Network hacking
Viruses and Malware
Are you complying with UK and EU Law?
Legislation is in force in the UK and EU that makes any organisation that offers any form of
internet access to the public or guests officially a Wireless ISP (WISP). This means that the
organisation is liable for any and all traffic that goes over their network, and can be fined (or
their service disconnected) if there are breaches of copyright or other unlawful activities.
The challenge
As the internet access
subscriber / WISP YOU are
responsible for ALL activity
on your network

Technical Overview
• The re-direction to the ‘Yo Wireless’ Gatekeeper is controlled by a feature called
‘Public Spot’ on the gateway equipment.
• Generally speaking we would advise placing the ‘Public Spot’ on the edge of a
network, therefore covering all the devices in the network.
• If it is operated on an individual access point, Public Spot can only manage the
access of WLAN clients that associate directly with this access point.
• In contrast, a router, central-site gateway and WLAN controller can – through the
Public Spot – provide authentication for an entire IP network, including multiple
access points and their WLAN clients or Ethernet clients.
• A WLAN controller can additionally manage the individual access points in the
network. The WLAN controller distributes the configuration parameters to the
access points automatically, so there is no need to configure the devices
individually
