Camping grounds are exposed to the weather and are often quite large. Nevertheless, people vacationing at modern camping grounds expect to have the convenience of Internet access from their own laptop, tablet or smartphone. Whether in a tent, a camper, or around the campfire, ubiquitously available Internet access is a real competitive advantage for camping ground operators.
With the robust, weather-proof outdoor devices from LANCOM and the LANCOM Public Spot option, even these demanding scenarios are implemented with ease—and without the laborious and costly need to lay cables. For example, in administration buildings for camping grounds, a WLAN controller (incl. LANCOM Public Spot option) is connected to a LANCOM dual-radio outdoor access point. This sends the signal via point-to-point connections in the 5-GHz frequency band to further outdoor access points, which provide WLAN coverage in the 2.4-GHz frequency band to the desired areas—such as campsites or recreational areas for guests. The secure separation of the guest and administrative networks is assured throughout, thanks to VLAN assignment.
- Online convenience without laying cables – even in wide-open areas, guests can be connected to the Internet without a costly and complicated installation.
- Convenient setup and configuration – a user-friendly setup and configuration wizard guarantees easy setup of the hotspot. For more details see the chapter Basic installation of a Public Spot for simple scenarios.
- Simplified guest access – The integrated Smart Ticket function ensures that the client receives the login data for the Public Spot conveniently and automatically via text message (SMS) or e-mail. Or as an alternative, vouchers can be printed out. For more details see the chapter Alternative login methods.
- Reliable even in extreme conditions – thanks to the robust IP66 outdoor housing and an extended temperature range, LANCOM outdoor devices are reliable and defy even extreme weather conditions from -33° to +70°C.
