Munich Airport Uses Cisco APs for Multiple ISP Hotspot

Munich International Airport is using Cisco System's access points for what is billed as the world's first multiple ISP hotspot. Physical connectivity is through Cisco's Aironet Access Points, while Cisco's Building Broadband Service Managers ensure users do not need to change their network settings to gain access, and serve as a portal platform for free resources such as maps and flight timetables. A Cisco 7400 Series router with a Service Selection Gateway gives users access to their chosen service provider and Cisco Catalyst switches and content engines distribute requested Internet content. The project is implemented with help from Deutsche Telekom Network Projects & Services GmbH (formerly DeTeLine),http://www.cisco.com
