“If everybody flushes the toilet at the same time, you wouldn’t want the building to come down,” Mr. Danto said. “I’m not sure why they wouldn’t design the Internet service the same way.”
– David J. Danto
Ikatu's six basic network questions:
Picture
1. Does your Internet network include Traffic Shaping?

Traffic Shaping is a configuration that regulates traffic on a network to optimize its performance providing quality of service (QOS) for sensitive applications that requires some minimum level bandwidth threshold.  Basically, minimum  bandwidth reserve for specific services, like Voice over IP (e.g. Viber), Video conferencing (e.g. Skype) Streaming Multimedia (e.g. Netflix).  At the same time it must limit the bandwidth for other services that could take a big share of it while they are not considered key services (e.g. download of illegal content prone to viruses via Torrents or Ares). 

In essence, it's like having the ability regulate the flow of the "tap" that each user has.
2. Does your Wi-Fi network make any separation among  personnel and customers?

It is important to isolate clients, so that a client cannot interfere with another client's device.

On an Ikatu's designed corporate network, you can configure multiple networks (say for example one public and one private) for exclusive access to the Internet or access to the Internet and the private network of the establishment. Say guests with access only to the Internet, but staff with access to services hosted on the hotel's private network as well, like the internal management system, its printers, etc.
3. Does your system automatically configures network devices?

Wireless access points used and furnished by Ikatu are configured from Ikatu's central server. Moreover, they are install as to not overlap communication channels. (This makes optimal use of the availabilty of the electromagnetic spectrum).

Ikatu's centralized interface configuration completely and efficiently manages the system, without the need for a  physical access to the client's infrastructure. Even in the scenario where a  wireless access points needs to be  added or removed,  it can as well be configured remotely from our  central server.
4. Does your network system issue vouchers for your guests?

To further ensure the quality of Internet service for guests, it is advisable to take full control of who has access to the shared WiFi service, and how this access is used. For this purpose then, the Ikatu's system provides access to the system from a simple and effective Voucher System. These vouchers will then be set to define bandwidth use, user fees, and time of use based on our client's needs and request. With these measures in place, no guest can saturate the network so it can't hurt the internet experience of other guests. Furthermore, a costumer of the system won't be able to use the service past its deadline.
5. Does your system provide monitoring of the network infrastructure 24/7?

Ikatu online monitoring service provides IT infrastructure, with automatic alerts to equipment failures and other incidents that could jeopardize the proper functioning of WiFi service, and it does so  24/7!

Ikatu may communicate with the client, and possibly take corrective action online or on-site, depending on the problem encountered.
6. Does your system provide useful reports?

Ikatu's network system collects and compiles statistical information of service usage by user, by Access Point for WiFi network, etc. This information can then be used as a support for decision-making for when upgrading or extending the network service.
