I've been impressed with what I've seen from SolutionInc
(http://www.solutioninc.com/). They're the only multi-site product I would
feel comfortable pursuing at this time. Most others require managing each
site or AP separately, which is not my idea of scalable.

Subject: wifi hotspot software needed
I am consulting with a new player in the internet field and I am looking
for suggestions for hotspot wifi software.
GPL would be great, but I know some of the stuff out doesn't have all
the features.
http://www.antamedia.com/ looks pretty solid and has an oem feature,
anybody else us this?
We will wanting to set up about 10 different hotspots in a small
downtown area and we want to give away the service for free. Doesn't
everybody expect that already?
I'll want to also be able to manage some rotating-commercialized
popups/popunders or log in advertisements to offset the costs.
As well as some traffic shaping / blocking some common high bandwidth
usage sites / or times of the day / for the neighbors who live in the
area too.
Maybe some one has done this before? If you have any suggestions, please
feel free to contact me off list.
