Products and solutions

IG 4 is designed for the hospitality industry and corporate-guest networks. This gateway enables service providers to offer high-speed Internet access as a value-added service at hotels, airports, campuses and other properties. One of the best-known features of IG 4 is its 3-Stage Advanced QoS engine, which is an advanced traffic management feature that allows service providers to give tiered bandwidth allocation to users: Guaranteed, Premium and Basic.

IG 3100 is a product released in 2013 to cater to smaller properties such as 100-150-room hotels. It is similar to the IG 4 but on a scaled down version. It only has two-tier QoS, unlike IG 4's.

SG 4 is an Internet gateway built for large venues such as convention centres, exhibition spaces and shopping malls. SG 4 was launched in 2014 at the HITEC convention in Austin, Texas.

SSG (Service Selection Gateway) enables Telcos/ISP (Internet Service Provider) infrastructures to provide wireless broadband hotspots to its subscribers. As of 2013, SSG is designed to concurrently support up to 20,000 active users and 2,000 locations per gateway.

Tru’Auth enables service providers to deploy tiered and differentiated services across a combination of WiFi, 3G, LTE and broadband networks. This may be used in provisioning and billing. Tru’Auth natively supports many AAA protocol methods to meet specific requirements and it is pre-configured by default with many third party vendor-specific attributes. Its APIs also allow integration with OSS/BSS, external provisioning and other portal systems. Tru'Auth can be deployed in a single server setup which can support up to 1,000 RADIUS transactions per second. Scalability-wise, Tru’Auth can be deployed in a clustered environment to scale for higher performances.

Vulnerability patch

In 2015 Antlabs patched an exploit of an Rsync implementation failure that could be used to access customer computers.
