Busy travelers need to stay connected, so
Netpune Networks leading provider of internet access kiosks at airports turned to Dataprobe to help keep uptime to a maximum.
These internet kiosks are available at each airport gate, and all the gates on a jetway are served by cable modem connections. Inband and out-of-band reboot access at each jetway's head end is provided by Dataprobe's
iP-415, which allows reboot for the access equipment and billing server.
Individual kiosks are rebooted as needed and automatically on a nightly basis with Dataprobe's
iBoot. The iBoot is a single outlet power switch that can be controlled via web browser, or as in this case, by a message from the network monitoring software at the Network Operations Center (NOC).
An additional iBoot using the
Auto-Ping feature continuously monitors the internet connection and automatically reboots the cable modem when is is not communicating with the server at the NOC.
