Earthlink has decided to use gateways from ADC for wireless Internet access in areas where it’s building municipal Wi-Fi networks.
Earthlink is currently providing wireless Internet services for customers in Anaheim, Calif. and is building out networks in Milpitas, Calif., and Philadelphia.
ADC’s SG-1 gateway allows service providers to add an intelligent layer of value-added services, such as dynamic bandwidth management and content on-demand, without the need for additional, dedicated client software. This means service providers can offer differentiated services and content to users based on individual user profiles.
The SG-1’s access control features, combined with dynamic interactive service capabilities, support 1,000 to 128,000 concurrent users on one 16-slot system.
