and hotel environments.
Hotspots are public areas, such as airports, hotels, coffee shops, where end users (or
subscribers) can access the Internet at any time.

Your VSG provides the following features to accommodate subscribers with a variety of
network configurations with little or no technical support.
Automatic Account Billing with Property Management System (PMS)
Many hotels use a PMS to perform in-room billing of services the guests use such as room
service, mini-bar, pay-per-view TV or telephone usage. The VSG supports PMS from Micros
Fidelios.

The Hilton Group Corporation developed the High Speed Internet Access (HSIA) service to
provide Internet access service across its entire Hilton Group hotels. In order to use the HSIA,

user authentication and accounting.
