WiFi Billing software
by Gate Keeper 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Skunks, I need an Internet access billing software. *Scenario.* I have a WI FI hotspot made up of several access points. Clients will be paying for internet access (for given time frame upfront E.g 1 week). The software will generate authentication details. Once the time frame expires the authentication details wont work any more. 1. The software has to be extremely simple to use(*Priority. *I hate late night calls.) 2. Very strong security features(Protect itself from hackers tempering with it, prevent authorised access. 3. Logs- I need to see who logged and when.The more detailed the better. Appreciates more if I can download the Logs in notepad. I need a second software(Preferably web based) which can be used to monitor several WiFi accesspoints. The output is internet speeds, latencies,jitter,bandwidth and uptime. Gate Keeper. * *
