The Fon solution
Fon’s firmware enables broadcasting of two SSIDs• Private SSID: Secured, prioritize home traffic
• Public SSID: Limited bandwidth available to other in the Fon network
Fon software converts routers into open WiFi hotspots with a crowd-sourced approach
Fon Guest
Fon Member Internet
Customers “give and take” access through the public SSID• Fon Members: Access and roam for free
• Non-Fon Members: Pay for passes (1 hour, 1 day, or 5 days)

Distribution channelsFon technology has two key distribution channels
• Fon includes its firmware in telco partner’s CPEs (existing DSL or cable modems with WiFi)
• No need for separate router
• Telco partner’s subscribers get Fon by default (opt-out model)
• Eliminates need for configuration or registration by end- user
• Fon routers can be plugged into any modem, regardless of the ISP providing broadband
• Ideal for:
- Individuals
- Mobile operators
- ISPs who currently have modems without WiFi
Fixed Operators(inside Telco’s modem)
Mobile Operators(external Fon router)

Orain arte- 3-4 pertsona batazbeste- Erronkarik handiena, WiFi errepikatzailea- Lan handia eta balio gutxikoa: WebUI- API bat sortu dugu aplikazio batetik kudeatzeko- Urrutiko kudeaketa TR-069 protokoloaren bidez- +7000 ordu eta kontatzen- QSDK erabili dugu (lehenak, establea izan aurretik)
Etorkizunean zer?- AllPlay- Home automation- Remote management
