Nomadix is the leading provider of solutions that create
intelligent Public-access networks. Our products enable
carriers, service providers, wireless ISPs and venue owners to
deploy an easy to use, revenue-producing Wi-Fi service.

Our Nomadix Service Engine ™ (NSE) is placed at the
edge of the network (in the HotSpot) to leverage a
centralized provisioning system to give the provider
maximum deployment flexibility by supporting the widest
range of billing, authentication, wholesale and roaming
models while giving the user a hassle free connectivity
experience.
The NSE offers the most comprehensive set of features
and functionality, and is available as a licensable
software package or on our line of Access Gateways capable
of servicing any type of HotSpot – from a large,
multi-cell location like an airport to a small, single
cell coffee shop.

The NSE Core runs our family of Access Gateways and has a
proven deployment record at over 10,000 points of presence
throughout the world. Optional NSE Modules are available to
further enhance the functionality of the NSE Core. Both are
available for license to run on third party platforms providing
functionality in the following key areas:
- Customer Acquisition
Acquire new customers in a Public-access network at
zero cost by allowing them to transparently and securely
connect to their network through Nomadix’ patented Dynamic
Address TranslationTM technology without having to change any
configuration settings or load any special client side
software.
- Service Provisioning
Once connected to the Public-access network, Nomadix’ Home
Page Redirection feature intercepts the user’s browser
settings and directs them to a web site to securely sign up
for service or log in if they have a pre-existing account.
Nomadix offers redirection opportunities both pre and post
authentication as well as at session termination for maximum
branding flexibility for both the provider and the HotSpot
owner.
- Multi-mode Authentication and Access
Control
Nomadix’ products can block access to the Internet or allow
access to a pre determined “Walled Garden” area of
the web until the user has been authenticated. In addition to
supporting the secure Browser-based Universal Access Method,
Nomadix is the ONLY company to simultaneously support
Port-based Authentication using IEEE 802.1x and authentication
mechanisms used by Smart Clients by companies such as Boingo
Wireless, GRIC and iPass. Nomadix products enable multiple
authentication models providing the maximum amount of
flexibility to the end user and to the operator by supporting
any type of client entering their network and any type of
business relationship on the back end.
- Advanced Security
VPN tunneling (PPTP, IPSec) remains the recommended method for
transmitting data across a wireless network for mobile workers
wishing to connect back to their corporate resources. Nomadix’
products feature its patent-pending iNAT functionality that
creates an intelligent mapping of IP Addresses and their
associated VPN tunnels allowing multiple tunnels to be
established to the same VPN server creating a seamless
connection for all the users at the Public-access location.
- Billing Plan Enablement
Nomadix supports a wide variety of billing models enabling the
deployment of profitable Public-access Networks. Our solutions
allow providers or venue owners to create billing plans using
credit cards, scratch cards or that enable monthly
subscriptions—then bill by a host of different parameters
including time, volume, or bandwidth. Users can also be billed
directly to their room bill through a Property Management
Interface (PMS) in a hotel setting.
- Global Roaming
Providers can open up their networks to “roaming” users by
allowing the network to make an intelligent decision on how a
user is authenticated and billed for the access, allowing the
extraction of roaming service revenue.
Nomadix was founded by Dr. Leonard Kleinrock, a father of the
Internet and is lead by Patrick Parker, chief executive officer.
Dr. Kleinrock conducted the pioneering research on ''''''''packet
switching'''''''' that is widely credited with making today''''''''s information
revolution possible. With the founding of Nomadix in 1998,
Kleinrock shifted his focus to developing a software mobility
solution to
realize the Internet''''''''s true potential of a completely
transparent networked world.
Nomadix has forged key strategic
partnerships with leading broadband networking companies
and is backed
by major venture capital firms and corporate
partners including AvTech Ventures, ITX International
Equity Corp., Mellon Ventures, Smart Technology Ventures and Intel
Capital.
