egress™ appliance

Viator Networks Egress™ Appliance allows small hotel and apartment owners (100 rooms or less) or access providers to offer high-speed Internet access services for a fraction of the cost of other solutions. It provides all the features you need and none of the ones you don't. Pound-for-pound, the Egress™ Appliance is the easiest to use, has the lowest total cost of ownership, and most broadly compatible server available for properties with less than 100 rooms.

The new Egress™ Appliance opens high-speed service provision to a whole, new performance and cost level. You can spend a lot more money, but why would you? Please note that for larger installations, Viator Networks offers a fully integrated hardware/software solution or software only, the Egress™ Server v4.5, which can easily fit into any budget or business model.
