PART 1: SIMPLer “Client” options

Essentially there are two client categories – “WIB” (WISP in a Box) and “HIB” (Hotspot in a Box). From a technical perspective the WIB / HIB Client device performs all necessary core network functions for the operator – in the one physical box, removing the need for routers, bandwidth managers, network monitors etc. etc.

The WIB or ‘WISP in a Box’ enables operators to deliver contract based services to their customers/subscribers. Subscribers typically sign a contract for a specific service type and are billed on a regular basis for same e.g. monthly or quarterly. The WIB enables operators to define a broad range of connectivity products, including leased line and high-end dedicated bandwidth. It is therefore ideal for serving the corporate, enterprise, residential and SME markets.

The HIB or ‘Hotspot in a Box’ enables operators to deliver token or pre-paid services to their customers. Subscribers typically purchase a token from a default portal page or retail outlets. The HIB is ideal for serving hotspots or for large scale metro Wi-Fi deployments.

PART 2: SIMPLer “Server” options

Essentially can choose between two server categories – “Hosted” / “SaaS” (Software-as-a-Service) and “Standalone”.

The Hosted / SaaS (Software as a Service) category allows operators to access the full suite of SIMPLer functions, without any of the hassles of setting up and maintaining servers. In addition all data is hosted in a secure environment as part of the service with essential backup procedures already in place. It is an ideal approach for many operators, especially those that are starting out.

The Standalone category is for operators who prefer to setup and maintain all their own servers. For example, it may be an option for some of the larger operators who already have their own data centre infrastructure. It is also possible for operators to start with the SaaS option and switch to the Standalone at some point in the future. Both the server and user license are required to be purchased from this category.
