Sputnik, Ubiquiti, and Streakwave announce partnership to provide high-performance wireless broadband routers with Sputnik access control and management

摘要

Sputnik, a provider of software for venue-branded, access-controlled Wi-Fi; Ubiquiti Networks, a provider of wireless broadband solutions; and Streakwave Wireless, a value- added distributor for wireless broadband solutions and related products, announced that Ubiquiti PowerStation 2/5 and NanoStation 2/5 wireless platforms will support Sputnik software. The Ubiquiti PowerStation is a versatile 802.11-based indoor/outdoor wireless platform with exceptional radio and antenna design. The NanoStation is an inexpensive 802.11-based indoor/outdoor wireless platform that combines a high-gain four-antenna system and advanced radio architecture, allowing extremely high throughput, stability, and price-performance. Both now run the Sputnik Agent (as part of DD-WRT firmware), enabling them to work in conjunction with the SputnikNet Web application for easy-to-deploy, centrally managed, access-controlled networks such as hotspots or hotzones. SputnikNet, a subscription service, gives Wi-Fi providers the ability to manage end-user access, branding, and security, as well as remotely monitor and manage one or many PowerStations and NanoStations.
