Hotspot Software

Thanks to HotSpot Software, it is now child's play to control exactly what is going on with your Wi-Fi connection. For many people with Wi-Fi, whether they are running an office or have the service at home, access is granted by handing over the wireless password for the system. Once given out, little control is maintained by the bill payer. This can cause problems. Someone might start using your Wi-Fi to download large amounts of data which sends you over your preferred spending limit, for example. Equally, you might find that your connection runs slowly because another user has grabbed all of the available bandwidth. If so, then you need a tool to control access to the Wi-Fi and, if granted, to limit what can be done with it. The development of such a networking tool is what HotSpot Software is all about.

With the demonstration version, you can control up to three users simultaneously – ideal for a home set up. However, for commercial use, say if you provide Wi-Fi in your shop or restaurant, then the Standard version, which can handle unlimited users at the same time, is preferable. Further editions with higher control numbers are offered on a sliding scale of charges.

Antamedia Software has put together a system which is not just good at controlling PCs that might be connected to your wireless network, but also other smart devices, such as smartphones and tablets. Think your smart TV might be taking too much bandwidth so that you cannot surf the web? This is just the sort of application that the development of the software has been designed for. It only takes a few clicks of the mouse to manage your connected devices bandwidth settings by configuring the download and upload speed of them individually. This can be done for customer accounts, if you choose to use the package in a commercial way, for example by allowing certain download privileges for guests in a hotel. Some users might choose to sell high-speed access rates for a premium or set everyone at a reduced rate so that the bandwidth is shared amongst users. It is up to you. Of course, you need to be able to exercise these controls without needing to download annoying client software onto every device. Thankfully, HotSpot Software does not require you to do this. You can even use it to brand your client's log in every time they connect to your Wi-Fi so they are sure to know they are using yours.
