How USG will impliment on a Small/Middle scale Network

How USG will impliment on a Small/Middle scale Network

Listed type of networks are compatible with our proposed gateway solution. Initially we design this work with both Wired and Wireless network. Since this unit is develop targeting middle and small scale organization such as Schools, Institute, Hotels and middle-scale organization device will not be compatible with high-end enterprise class networks. Below is the sample network diagram which works with Universal Service Gateway;

According to this basic network architecture our gateway has main 3 Ethernet ports considering gateway implementation and considering at head office security as per above network diagram.
Port allocations are as below:

1 x Gigabit Ethernet or Fast Ethernet - Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) / LAN1
1 x Gigabit Ethernet or Fast Ethernet - In Side Zone / LAN2
1 x Gigabit Ethernet or Fast Ethernet – Out Side Zone / WAN1

Features Of USG

Main Proposed Features

We will develop our new Universal Service Gateway in one box with ability to manage more concurrent users bundle with many features which other gateways doesn’t available.


Main proposed features of the Universal Service Gateway – USG, are describe as below

Authentication and User management features

Ability to maintain local database of users and authenticate as Prepaid, Postpaid, Permanent.
Create random password for guest/visitor base users according to his requirement.
Facilitate external authentication integrating with Active Directory, Radius Server

Subscriber management features

Bandwidth limitation and on demand bandwidth allocation for user and group wise.
Support Manual logout, Idle disconnect Service time out and force logout.
Facilitate or Block concurrent logging session according to the location policies.
Provide secured web based interface to login
Ability to add intranet and unrestricted site as wall garden

Zero configuration features

Provide “Connect, Authenticate and Access” environment with zero configuration to users.
Support dynamic port pass and transparent proxy with client browser.
Support both static and dynamic IP address.
Adaptive Domain Name Service (DNS) support.
Facilitate mail relay with Transparent Send Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).

Operational features

In build proxy server and web cache daemon.
In build Mail server, Postfix – Optional
Facilitate Centralized or Location Base, Deployment environment.


Implementing a Universal Service Gateway with above feature to a Wired and wireless infrastructure, allows small and medium organization to enjoy with all IT related activates on their LAN or WLAN, with more secured and easily. We hope it will be a reason for increase productivity, reliability and hassles free benefit for location network administrators, managers.
