FirstSpot is a pure software-based hotspot management solution. There are several advantages of a software-based solution:

1) It is more flexible. You can install FirstSpot on any Windows PC. You can customize it as you wish and it is easier to upgrade (just buy another PC to replace it)

2) More focus. FirstSpot is designed from ground it to be a hotspot solution. It contains many hotspot oriented features like In-Browser Message or Social Networks support.

3) For some cases, it is actually cheaper. This is especially true if you plan to have lots of users. Since you don't need to use proprietary hardware, you can increase the capacity according to your need at any time without paying us.

FirstSpot can do what you described quite well. Below is a brief description:

1) you can create through our Web UI, FirstSpot API or even directly insert to the ODBC table fsusr

2,3) There are many user attributes including Access Minutes, Data Transfer Quota, and Date pass / Expiry time. You can view the available options in the UI

4) Yes, we have built-in reporting feature. In addition, you can easily access the log files and generate the specific report that you need

5) We support Shalla List Web Filtering

6) Not too sure what you mean by user restriction. Again, the user attribute above can hopefully meet your need.

We are confident that our product will speak for itself. You can experience FirstSpot by downloading our full feature trial version at http://patronsoft.com/firstspot/download_trial.html
