The Free scenario

A location wish to advertise free internet access and have for this purpose procured a fixed internet connection. Normally all users will be sharing the available bandwidth, resulting in periods of congestion and slow service.

Our suggestion is to use the AmazingPorts Access controller to manage users and create 3 basic quality services, that enables the provider to offer free access while improving the over all user experience.

1. Top priority to VoIP calls
2. Second priority to E-mail and Web browsing
3. All other traffic

With this set-up a location can ensure reasonable service even with high load and many users, effectively avoiding the congestions that occur with ordinary systems.

The Free + premium service scenario

Offering free internet access to all users does not prevent a location from generating revenue out of their investment in WiFi hotspots and broadband connectivity. Actually a growing number of users are aware of the impact of service levels in networks. And are prepared to pay for a premium service even when a free "general" service is available.

We suggest the following priority groups in a scenario where free access is mixed with a premium offering

1. Top priority to VoIP calls of premium customers
2. Second priority to E-mail and Web browsing of premium customers
3. All other traffic from premium customers
4. All traffic from non premium customers

This way of configuring your network gives your premium customers excellent service while the free offering is still available for users will lesser quality demands.
