Auditing and Billing Usage

• Billing is one of the more difficult aspects of managing a hotspot. There are many different models in use for billing customers. You can choose to:

• Bill for each time or day that a user connects, thus avoiding having to monitor usage or collect user information

• Charge a monthly or annual fee for an account, in which case you must create accounts.

• Bill on an hourly basis whether they are connected or not.

• Bill for actual usage time like cell phone companies do

Pre/Post-Paid Billing Support

Hotspotexpress ISP Billing supports both pre-paid and post-paid billing to allow extra flexibility for ISP providers and subscribers. The pre-paid billing method is more universal, as it allows providers to extend services subscribers without taking risk of non-payment. All session requests are billed in real-time which to ensure that whenever account balance is depleted the subscriber sessions will be disconnected. In post-paid billing scenario, ISP providers extend credit to subscribers in order to increase the demand for their services but take the risk of non-payment.

PIN or Username/Password Authentication

Hotspotexpress ISP Billing comes with integrated state-of-the-art RADIUS server which allows it to perform multiple authentication methods to best fit the requirements of the business model used by a particular ISP provider. In particular, the product can authenticate subscribers by PIN or username/password combinations.

Time and Flat Fee Billing

Hotspotexpress ISP Billing supports multiple billing options, including time billing and flat fee billing. Time billing is the traditional billing method in the ISP industry where subscribers are billed by minute of service usage. Nowadays, however, more subscribers prefer to pay a flat fee for ISP services regardless of usage.

Bandwidth Usage Billing

Hotspotexpress ISP Billing also enables ISP providers to bill their subscribers by unit of bandwidth usage, such as Kilobyte. Because some applications have low while others high bandwidth requirements, by utilizing bandwidth usage billing, ISP providers can effectively segment subscribers and target specific market niches.
