  3. Who is Nomadix ? • Nomadix is the leading global Subscriber Internet Gateway company. We manufacture dedicatednetworkingdevices using the Nomadix Network Service Engine (NSE). • Quickly and inexpensively get subscribers onto their networks without requiring client side software or reconfiguration of IP settings. • Generate more revenue per broadband connection through intelligent subscriber management and delivery of IP services. • Simplify their network infrastructure and maintenance costs. • Nomadix gateways are used in almost 4,000 sites worldwide, with installations in USA, Japan, Asia and Europe. Provide Plug and Play More Revenues At Lower Cost 4,000

  4. Nomadix’s Value proposition Patents • Nomadix have several patents on public Broadband Internet provisioning, e.g. DAT and iNAT. These patents provide true ‘plug and play’ and support a complex of VPN links on a single hot-spot site. • Nomadix, as an active member of Wi-Fi Alliance, has been instrumental in the make of the WISPr (roaming) “best current practices for WISP roaming” and Wi-Fi Zone concept. • Nomadix established “license agreements” with leading industry partners, e.g. Proxim, Hughes Networks and Rockwell Collins for integration of NSE in application specific platforms. WISPr OEM

  5. Nomadix’s Value proposition End user provisioning • Nomadix functionality offered through the Nomadix Internet Gateways cover a rich set of features in the following main areas: • End User provisioning • Authentication (UAM, 802.1x Smart Client, 802.1x UAM) • Security (VPN, EAP) • Billing interfaces for both a centralized AAA and for local AAA • Roaming • Through a range of solution partners, Nomadix fits well in a well designed end to end solution for carriers, ISPs and stand-alone sites. • AAA partners , e.g. Picopoint, Wificom • Roaming partners, e.g. Boingo, iPASS • HLR interface partners, e.g. Adjungo Networks Authentication Billing Roaming

  10. End User Provisioning Features • Plug and Play • No client-side software installation / reconfiguration • Dynamic Address Translation (DAT)™ • For supporting users with: static IP Addresses, has a DHCP address from another subnet, going through public-private address translation • Transparent Proxy. For supporting Browsers configured for Proxy or private DNS Server that could be behind a firewall • VPN Support (PPTP and IPSEC) • Support End-to-End security, even when user’s address is being translated. • iNAT™ supports multiple VPN sessions going to same corporate VPN Access Server, even with limited number of public IP Addresses available. iNAT uses one public IP address for multiple sessions to different VPN Access Servers. • Multiple Language Support • Pre-defined login screen in Internal Web Server

  12. Multiple Subnet Support • Subnets and DHCP pools assigned • Location ID (e.g. via VLAN ID) • Nomadix RADIUS VSA (‘Subnet’) • Administratively assigned • Multiple DHCP pool and IP subnet support

  13. Multiple Subnet Support (con’t) • Save costs by using non-contiguous public DHCP pools • Example: Provide Internet access to 1,000 DHCP users and only have non-contiguous Class C pools, you can now define these separate pools in the Nomadix Gateway • Use mixed pools (public/private) for varied network topologies and customer sets (residential vs. business) • Example: All residential users can get private IP address and be address translated, all business customers can get a public IP and not be address translated • Differentiate your customers depending on their location • Example: All users in one building can be placed in the same VLAN and provision all their IP address from a dedicated pool • Allocate different lease times to different users dependent on the peak usage patterns of the network • Keep all devices (e.g. Access Points) on a separate public subnet that will not get address translated
