Billing system for wireless

[Carlos A. Silva]

Is there a setup that i can use for billing on a wireless LAN?

This billing system has to be able to tell how long a certain user (wireless card) has been on line. I'm looking for something like the BBSM. That product might be it, but i think it does not go as far as to checking every wireless connection as it does with the LRE solution.

I think BBSM is probably the only thing you’ll find right now. I know Cisco is really improving this product quickly so you might want to request some enhancements that you need in your environment.

Does it mean that BBSM v5.2 will be available? When?

BBSM version 5.2 is scheduled for release in November. 5.1 is available today and provide what you want. One difference between the two is that 5.2 will be able (if you use a cisco router IOS 12.1(T) or higher) to guarantee bandwidth as opposed to 'rate limit' as 5.1 does.

What I am waiting most from BBSM 5.2 - is wireless user "kick-off" if user's time quota, set by RADIUS, is out. Now (in BBSM 5.1) user is staying online till I manually throw it out.
