These are the good ones, there are a few others such as WHMCS and GLDS, but
they are really more telco or cable provider centric.   When it comes to the
wireless business the ones listed below are really the ones to consider.

I have offered this before, but for anyone looking at billing systems please
feel free to contact me offlist.  Our company does support for ISPs that use
each of these different billing systems so I would  be happy to give you an
objective opinion on them as well as a rundown of features.  I am only
willing to do it offlist however :).

Is your objective a list?  or a comparison?

I'd like to see a feature comparison...  things like: 
Do you rent it or own it?  (personally, I hate the idea of 'software as
service')
Is it local or in the cloud?  (I trust the cloud as far as I can throw it.)
Support type?  
Support cost? Ongoing or incident?
Integrate with MT?
Integrate with UBNT?
Payment systems?  IPPay, Authorize.net, other
Support for a Hotspot system?  MT or UBNT?

We currently use QB.  and renewal is coming up in 2-3 months...
We are open to different answers, but those questions come to mind right
away. 

Vendors, if you will be at KY, consider it a chance to persuade me.

Blair

[WISPA] Hotspot/Billing/AAA options?

2013-03-22 Thread ralph
We have multiple hotspots, each with a customized portal.

 

Anyone using DMA Softlabs RADIUS Manager for their hotspots?

How about the Gatespot system that Butch sells? 

(I spoke on the phone to a couple of Gatespot users already but I don't
think they used customized portals)

I don't think Mikrotik User Manager even does multiple portals, but please
let me know if you are using it for that.

 

What do you think of them?

Know of any others?

I have a few customers using that software.  It's decent, but it is a
bear to install and set up unless you use the precise versions he
recommends.  Last time I looked, it was an older version of Freeradius,
but I seem to recall that he has updated to use FreeRadius 2.x.

This is actually software written by Eje of Wisp-Router.  It is by far
the most flexible system I've ever seen.

 (I spoke on the phone to a couple of Gatespot users already but I

It is up to you how you create the portal.  It's just some php code
embedded in your web page. It's very flexible.

 I don’t think Mikrotik User Manager even does multiple portals, but
 please let me know if you are using it for that.

User Manager only allows one web page/portal per installation.
