AmazingPorts is a Linux-based software product customised for use as a firewall, captive portal and billing system (Hotspots). The project started in 2001.

Description

AmazingPorts is mainly deployed as an access control system in private and public networks. It can be deployed as a single hotspot controller in airports, hotels, private locations and hospitals. It was used in Internet cafes in Europe by 2002 together with Intel.[1] It was used for a city-wide Wi-Fi project in 2004,[2] and Internet roaming in 2002.[3]

AmazingPorts was created in 2001 with an initial vision of building free networks. Later the company refocused and provided its technology to network builders. The company implemented service-oriented provisioning in 2002 and was the first to implement 802.11a public hotspots in Europe. During 2009 and 2010 the administrative system was updated.
