Nomadix offers a full range of Access Gateways running the Nomadix Service Engine (NSE) software, enabling problem-free Wi-Fi deployments in a variety of venues from the smallest single cell HotSpot typically found in coffee shops and restaurants to large multi-cell locations that support thousands of users. As part of its new partnership with Nomadix, Ingram Micro will distribute the following Access Gateways:
-- The Wireless Gateway(tm) (AG-2000w)-the ideal "HotSpot in a Box"
for small, single cell deployments. The AG-2000w incorporates

for small to medium-sized Public-access locations. The HSG is
transport agnostic and enables the deployment of wired, wireless
or hybrid networks supporting up to 150 simultaneous users at
