Nomadix EG 3000L Gateway

Nomadix gateways have been the industry standard in hospitality for 25 years, with tens of thousands of gateways supporting millions of rooms worldwide. Powered by patented technology, Nomadix’s family of internet access gateways are designed with reliability and scalability in mind to accommodate small, medium, and large venues—from hotels to airports to stadiums and convention centers.

Nomadix Gateways are powered by the Nomadix Service Engine (NSE) software, which provides authentication, guest landing pages, and bandwidth management. These solutions have earned a global reputation for unparalleled reliability and ease of management.

EG 3000 & EG 3000L

The EG 3000 family of gateways is ideal for value-driven, visitor-based networks (VBNs). It is the perfect solution for small- to medium-sized venues, including hotels with up to 500 rooms that want to offer their guests fast and reliable internet access.

With four configurable WAN/LAN copper ports, the base configuration of the EG 3000L includes support for 400 concurrent devices. It can be upgraded to support 500 concurrent devices with a standard throughput of 500 Mbit. The base configuration of the EG 3000 includes support for 500 concurrent devices and can be upgraded to support 3000 concurrent devices. The standard throughput of 500 Mbps can be upgraded to 1 Gbps.

Features & Benefits

• Reliable internet access supported by two decades of development and testing.
• Robust authentication and controls for configuration, management and VBN creation
• Bandwidth management, allocation, and controls to ensure users get the proper bandwidth levels with unused bandwidth redistributed to optimize the experience.
• Scalable to accommodate small- to large-size networks (from boutique bed & breakfast properties to resorts to convention centers)
• IPv6 Certified by the IPv6 Forum starting with version 8.15.

Reliability

Nomadix has invested over two decades of development and quality assurance to create a proven, reliable solution. Each release undergoes vigorous testing to ensure the gateways can handle the load and specified functionality.

Nomadix gateways are built on an embedded operating system, which removes the reliance on open-source code that many other systems utilize and the corresponding security concerns. The Nomadix NSE software runs on hardware with a significant mean time between failure (MTBF) for further reliability and stability. Nomadix also has a well-trained support staff that responds promptly to questions.

Custom-Branded Guest Landing Pages

The NSE software allows admins to create and maintain a dedicated captive portal that can be hotel-branded to give guests a seamless experience. When used with the Nomadix Hotel Portal, MSPs, and hotel admins have additional branding options and guest authentication flows.

Bandwidth Management and Control

Nomadix provides various bandwidth management capabilities that enable properties to maximize their bandwidth investment. Internet circuits can be upgraded infrequently, even as usage demand grows. Nomadix gateways support bandwidth management per device, per location by VLAN bandwidth limits, or per group.

Additionally, bandwidth capping allows for the granular control of tiered access levels for different groups. For example, bandwidth prioritization for VIP guests enables various types of users or groups to access available bandwidth before others. Admins can also manage the utilization of unused bandwidth to offer additional access beyond the capped limits when it is available.

Authentication

Nomadix gateways support multiple authentication methods, including integrating property management systems (PMS), credit cards, RADIUS authentication, access codes, Facebook, and PayPal. SMS, vouchers, China market support, and brand-specific authentication flows for Hyatt and Marriott are supported authentication methods when paired with the Nomadix Hotel Portal.

How It Works

Nomadix gateways allow guests to access the Internet without changing their network settings. The "Set and forget" functionality requires configuration only once during setup and does not require future administration.

Once initial access is configured, other equipment, such as switches and access points, can also be managed. Interoperability with switches and networking standards allows for many different network topologies. A Nomadix gateway running the NSE software supports all networks that follow basic packet forwarding and routing specifications. The gateway is network-equipment agnostic if all switches, APs, GPON, and other networking equipment follow standard specifications.
