The AG 5900 is ideal for mid-to-large venues where support for thousands of simultaneous mobile devices is a must. It’s a high-performance internet Access Gateway that enables the creation of high-speed internet access (HSIA) and visitor-based networks (VBN). Designed with scalability in mind it is renowned for its reliability and suitability for venues such as hotels, airports, stadiums, and convention centers. The AG 5900 features the flexibility to support from 500 up to 8,000 simultaneous devices, and up to tens of thousands of devices when using our clustering feature. With a throughput of 3.5 gigabits per second, the AG 5900 Access Gateway is ideal for managing your growing bandwidth demand while ensuring your guests get the best internet experience.
At Nomadix, we are committed to providing the most reliable bandwidth management and high-speed internet access (HSIA) gateways for visitor based networks (VBN). This commitment is exemplified by the growing number of public venues deploying our family of internet bandwidth management and access gateways.
Nomadix gateways have earned a global reputation for unparalleled reliability and ease of management. Powered by patented technology, Nomadix throughput enhancement technologies make available bandwidth stretch further, slowing the pace of investment in bandwidth upgrades and enabling revenue generation and customization in a number of business models. With Nomadix, public access network providers are able to deploy cost-effective, secure and easy-to-use network services.
Nomadix's Bandwidth Management and Access Gateway appliances allow end users to access the internet without making changes to their networks. "Set and Forget" functionality requires configuration only once during setup without administration oversight from then on.

The variety of bandwidth management tools provided by Nomadix enables network operators and system integrators to maximize their Return on Investment (ROI) from available internet bandwidth capacity. This means that internet bandwidth circuits do not need to be upgraded as frequently, even as the perceived demand for bandwidth continues to grow. Nomadix's Bandwidth Management and Access Gateway appliances support BW management per device or per group. Bandwidth capping allows for control on a granular level for the operator to sell in tiered levels to groups.

In addition to its standard copper ports, the AG 5900 can be configured with a plug-in fiber module that is outfitted with two enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) 10G ports. The SFP+ fiber module is designed for any venue with a visitor-based network where a fiber architecture is deployed and fiber WAN or LAN connections are needed. The AG 5900 fiber module is offered with two types of SFP+ 10G transceivers: single mode fiber (SMF) and multi-mode fiber (MMF).

Bolster your business by keeping your guests connected. Nomadix offers a wide range of property management system (PMS) interfaces to allow for reliable, in-room guest billing for high-speed internet access (HSIA) service. This module includes a two-way PMS interface for billing in Wi-Fi-enabled networks and uses “bill mirror” functionality, allowing records to be easily posted to multiple sources. The Nomadix Service Engine (NSE) utilizes a direct serial connection required by most PMS vendors which enhances the security of direct-bill communication. It also supports billing over a TCP/IP connection to select PMS interfaces.
